This is my response to you:
1. Right to privacy is a fundamental right, recently held by the Supreme Court;
2. Therefore such an app violates your privacy at all times;
3. You may refuse to use the app;
4. You can state that if you are required to then you can use it only during the course of your employment in the employment premises;
5. You should refuse to use it once your work is done and you leave the office premises.
