> Umm, yeah, if you have access to top secret info, I would be very careful about mixing work and personal content. Don't think you don't have that. Do you work with any personal or internal company data? Do you have access to systems that contain them? I.e. Databases, Backup Servers, internal portals with company-only announcements ... Sure, you probably don't work with data classified as top secret, but being implicated in the release of personal data or internal data, especially if it helps the competition or influences the stock price, will get you very quickly in really hot water. > I may be somewhat unusual for the HN crowd but not for the population at large but virtually all the data I care about lives on a few cloud services ... as well as your local files (Dropbox & Co.), your browser cache and your OS cache. Maybe your password store. Just because the data is not mainly stored on your device does not mean that nobody will access it. Also, people do run data recoveries on these, especially when you did not have time to prepare for this ("This laptop is under investigation, we take it right now, please report to HR").
