You can, but as long as it wasn't stated in your current employees contract, that usually stated company have any rights to deploy or monitor your private working tools, such as laptops or smartphones. Or most of the time, they could mentioned that employees should obey any company's rules that related to company's operational.

Probably not, but you already let them invade your privacy once by utilizing a PC for work so you gave them that.

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit.

My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?
