In response to Paula,
Wouldn't the onus of telling the 3rd party about the monitoring of
email/phone calls be upon the person who gives the email address or phone
number out - i.e. you?
If you give your details to someone and you think that they may at some
point say something that employers may not like, you should warn that
someone about the monitoring.
