Most BYOD policies I’ve seen (10 years in info sec and 6 as a consultant) allow you to bring your own personal device but as soon as you do it basically becomes company property. The physics hardware is yours but any information on it is owned by the company and the company can take physical possession of it temporarily if they need to do a forensic investigation.
Likewise most WiFi policies I’ve seen say personal devices are forbidden from the corporate network and have to run on the guest network, which is usually not monitored as heavily.
Please read your employee handbook, (IANAL but based on what I’ve experienced) legally companies have to disclose this. Unfortunately many people do not read the e-handbook and are upset when the learn the rules they’ve unwittingly agreed to follow.
BYOD or personal devices, just always imagine that if it’s using any corporate resources, the company will claim ownership if there is any dispute. And depending on your e-handbook, they’re likely to win a legal battle because likely you signed an agreement saying they can.
