Questions & Answers
What can I do if a company is recording voices in my house through a work laptop?
Good Day!
my concern is that I had a relationship with a boy and he went on vacation.
As he requested to help him with his work during his vacation period, he gave me his laptop and told me his company would use some of his files remotely. I only have to open the laptop and keep it connected to the internet.
They have done their work from time to time and I have seen they did the voice recording.
When I checked, they voice-recorded the daily activities of my room.
I asked my BF and he said he didn't know about this and he asked his IT staff.
IT Staff mentioned that as per his managing director; 's instructions, they did it and if anything happens he will hold the responsibility [I have a screenshot of this conversation].
Since I'm really worried about my privacy, I would like to know what I can do about this matter and how I can file a case against them.
I have all the voice recordings, his laptop, and a screenshot of their conversation.
Thank you.

You should report this incident to the UAE police. The police can help you file a complaint of privacy invasion or illegal surveillance.
Provide them with the voice recordings, the laptop, and the screenshot as evidence. In Dubai, you can file a complaint at the Cybercrime Division of the Dubai Police.
They take privacy violations seriously, and they have a dedicated team to handle such matters. Based on the evidence you have, it’s possible to file a criminal complaint under the Cybercrime Law.
The IT staff's claim that they were following orders from the Managing Director may be used as a defense, but it does not absolve the responsibility of those involved in carrying out the recording without consent.
