You&#x27;re likely right, but if I was hiring someone, I&#x27;d make sure to have a strong rule (ie - work devices&#x2F;networks are for work purposes only) and a strong disclosure (ie - we reserve the right to monitor, read or otherwise use any and all information on work devices or networks).<p>Of course, I&#x27;m Canadian and our privacy law is fairly strict. Violations are also a tort, even without proof of damage, so my case may be unique.<p>But regardless, firm, written guidelines applied equally across the organization are always a good defense.
