On my current gig I use a shared "pool" laptop owned by the client, the machine has several profiles installed and runs like a dog so I cant vouch for its integrity.
This got me thinking (dangerous I know) would they (the client) have the right to access any information I access using their machine (and via their connection)?
Fair enough if I breached their electronic media policy or broke my Ts & Cs in any way but what if my agent sends me remittance, contractual or financial information to my client email address, or if I access my internet email account from the pool laptop.
In other words do I have any legal right to confidentiality for any data stored or accessed via the clients laptop?
I suspect the answer is a resounding No and don’t store anything of any value on it but was just wondering?
