So not only do I work for you, but you want me to install your custom app on my personal device, too? I can't imagine there are any privacy backdoors here at all. Definitely not when I'm required to give it location permissions for it to function. /s

I see you don't work at Walmart. People there have more burning matters, like how to put food on the table.

And you can block location requests(and the like) for the app, after work, Either with Android 6-7 or Lineage's privacy guard.

I'm sure technological side steps will result in termination one or another way.

Disclosure: I work at Walmart Tech at the David Glass Building.

I can say with absolute assurance that it does not.
