I&#x27;ve never had a problem with that, and it&#x27;s pretty straight forward IMO.<p>Work computers stay at work.  My computers stay at home (or at least not at work).  If I create something outside of work, not using proprietary data&#x2F;algorithms&#x2F;whatever from work, and using my own computers, then it&#x27;s mine.  I&#x27;d never work somewhere that tried to claim ownership of work I did outside of work.<p>Needless to say, common sense applies, and it&#x27;s probably not a good idea to have a side project that competes with your employer (even indirectly), helps their competition, or makes them look bad somehow.
