This is the case in France, and you're even allowed to use work equipment for personal things as long as it is done in a reasonable amount. For instance, reading news articles on your work computer browser, browsing your personal facebook account, either during a break or for a few minutes a day, will be seen as reasonable. On the other hand, if you spend 6hrs out of 8 doing personal stuffs, the employer can use this against you. I also assumed this kind of usage would be protected by a court like the European Court of Human Rights, but I was wrong.
