Yep, sure is. We always state NO PERSONAL USE, and then define clearly
what we consider personal Use (a non-inclusive list, but it covers about
15 things), and that all communications across company systems with any
internal or external person, business, device, etc... belong to the
company and can and will be inspected at any time. We also have a policy
that all media of any type may be inspected at any type, including
personal media.

We've actually found people working for other companies during security
audits for other companies (meaning that employee of company A was also
working for company B on Company A network and time - without knowledge
or permission from company A)... We had to search their home, which they
agreed too, for documents and media that belonged to the company - all
with their permission (to keep from filing a lawsuit against them).
