Depends where. Here in Europe it has been said that a Personal folder cannot be looked at by the company. But ofc it can ask you to delete it or fire you if you spend too much time idling but Personal data is Personal.

This is a major cultural difference between US and EU. In the U.S., data is only Personal if it's on a Personal device.
