Rule #1:
Company stuff goes on the company products (phone, iPad, laptop, etc.)
Personal stuff goes on your personal products (phone, iPad, laptop, etc.)
Pretty much anyone in your IT/HR department can check anything on your company product remotely.
Um, no.
I don't want MegaCorp to know I've had a fight with the wife/girlfriend (or both), am stressed about my M2 parts being delayed, I lost my line of credit at the bank, my cocaine habit's out of control, the cat's taken up gambling, etc.
Keep your work life and your personal life separate. No good can come of things otherwise.
As a case in point:
We had one of our company's pilots called into the Chief Pilot's office because he'd apparently been surfing porn sites on his company iPad. That was bad.
What was worse, was that it was happening at the EXACT time he was in the Chief Pilot's office-- which was sort of a puzzler.
Turns out that his kid had been bogarting his iPad when he was home to watch porn. He had no idea until Company IT/HR caught him.
There's a lesson in there somewhere.....
