No. It is not how law works: An employer “cannot reduce private social life in the workplace to zero. Respect for private life and for the privacy of correspondence continues to exist, even if these may be restricted in so far as necessary,” the ECHR grand chamber judgment said.* "as necessary" is the important part. In fact, it is bad for a company to have a clause that says "we own all your email". Such a clause is invalid and it will be invalidated in court. A more reasonable and justified clause in the contract will hold in court. * https://www.theguardian.com/law/2017/sep/05/romanian-chat-messages-read-by-employer-had-privacy-breached-court-rules https://www.theguardian.com/law/2017/sep/05/romanian-chat-me...
