title: Is it "safe" to install Android Device Administration applications in terms of privacy?
body: <p>Is it "safe" to install Android Device Administration applications on my personal device?
  Can my company read my private data with that application?</p>
  
  <p>My company recently adopted a policy to install an enterprise application on each employee's smartphone. The application should be installed from 3rd party market that is operated by the comapny, and requires Device Administration privilege.</p>
  
  <p>Even though the application does not require 'root' privilege, and Device Administration API is not related to reading data inside the phone, I'm still not sure that my personal data is safe to my company.</p>
  
  <p>FYI, the API includes changing password, wipe out data, disable camera, and so on.
