I run a couple essential apps in a Virtualbox on my work laptop. Mainly due to compatability but more and more so due to privacy and articles like this. Am I right in thinking that anything that goes on inside that Virtualbox is 'relatively' private? I don't believe our IT department have the capacity to go beyond something like Office 365 Admin, but who knows. Thanks,

What goes on in your virtual box is not private if the host machine is not under your control.

I’ve always thought it was a good rule that if you don’t want your employer to know about it, don’t do it on a company machine. Assume they can see everything.

  If you use Microsoft Windows, and your employer is a client of theirs, then it seems a reasonable expectation that MS would like to "enhance" their reports on you with information they harvest from your OS. Can you trust any machine using software from companies that your employer pays a lot of money to [in part] in order to track you?
