Work is “requiring” me (and others) to install an app on our phone. What can I do?

(throwaway account for anonymity) I am a supervisor at a Staples retail store. The company just launched some new app called Staples Connect, and my boss (the general manager) is going around putting up signs with a qr code for associates to install the app on our phones. I was told I was going to be required to install the app on my phone since I am a supervisor and I need to be familiar with the app so I can help customers and/or associates with using the app. This is NOT a company phone; it is my own personal phone that I pay for. What is my recourse here? How can I tell the company to fuck off, apart from simply saying no? I'm hoping for something legal I can point to, I guess.
