I am suprised you would be using personal email and GitHub accounts. The laptop thing is not that unusual, but it is because the company provides you a company email, GitHub, etc. Basically, I keep my work and personal devices completely separate. I only do work on work devices. I expect no real privacy. As for the other portion of your question, maybe you could negotiate that out? Or make it more limited? Something like if I am using X language or working on something tied to Y field (that you use/work on at work) I will follow procedure. That leaves you to build (insert unused language here) (insert unrelated app) on your own time.
