Intercepting communications is definitely illegal. They can certainly have limits on what the laptop could be used for etc. and perhaps filter traffic. Possibly even track the URL's (depending on what the contract says). But reading personal emails will definitely be illegal. When I go into a company to investigate one of their employee's you have to be very careful not to go near any personal email etc.
