Can an administrator spy on your iPhone just by setting up a Microsoft Exchange account?

No an administrator can't access you text messages and call record.

Supported Exchange/ActiveSync policies on iPhone are described in iPhone Enterprise Deployment Guide
Enterprise can also use a profile distribution service, this allow enterprise to push policies to the iPhone remotely. These policies can almost force any settings of the iPhone. See the PDF for details

    I am using django and have three objects: Customer, Location and Department. Each has a related Setting object.

    Is it better form to create a single table with optional/null foreign keys?

    Or to create a different setting object/table for each of the 3 entities?

      See the Enterprise Deployment Guide for details about what the administrator can do.

      Why use your personal iPhone with the business if they're not compensating you for it? I'd rather not risk legal issues by risking mixing personal and business equipment like that and personally I'd be miffed at someone (myself, employer) if my personal phone had features "managed" when I'm footing the bill.

      In addition to what Bart stated, they can't access your iPhone if you don't configure it to connect to the corporate Exchange server. If this is your personal iPhone then don't configure it to connect to your corporate Exchange server. If this is a company issued iPhone then by rights they can and should have complete access to the device and any and all communications to and from the device.

    So is one of these options best form or more conducive to embodying the DRY principle?

    I think all of these options are relatively DRY. Option #1 and #3 are DRY if you use an abstract base class. Option #2 is DRY by default. For this case, I think usage is the most important factor. How do you plan on using the settings and what do you plan to store in the settings?

    i totally went with the generic foreign key. It works beautifully.
