Also, your browsing history as well. You are not allowed to assert privacy rights over any email that you send through your workplace PCs.

Also, if your company allows you to use your personal devices, IPads, IPhones, BBs, etc. for work, then all data stored on those devices can be subjected to collection in a govt. investigation or litigation.
