My one exception is using the Jepp charts when I’m flying GA, otherwise it’s company related or it’s turned off.

Use your FO bonus and buy an iPad, problem solved.

Any company that has more than a couple iPad's is using a Mobile Device Manger to control, update, inventory, recover, wipe, and potentially monitor their devices. I've used one of the more popular ones and it's just a check box to enable location tracking. It can also remote in and see your screen or take screenshots but I haven't used that feature. In almost real time, it records any unlock attempts (successful or not), which apps are installed, etc. If they are forcing all traffic through their own VPN, they can potentially lookup any site you visit. I wouldn't use it at all for any personal matter, just treat it like a tool for work.
I don't get it, but so many people think as soon as their employer gives them a computer without cords, they think it's their own personal toy.

I think the company's logic with no restrictions on apps and stuff is that they want us to treat it as if it were our own, aka more likely to care for it and less likely to lose it.
With all the problems our IT department has to deal with I doubt they are really monitoring anything...However I still only use mine for work, just common sense really.

Right, I can almost guarantee you that your IT Department doesn't have time or care about what you're doing but it's not them you have to worry about per se, it's the capability. When they start looking it's because management directed them to. Sometimes it's so they can have hard evidence to hold against you, document on your record for future use, or worse. It might be completely unrelated to whatever they are unhappy with you over but somewhere in the new hire paper work or employee handbook you probably signed a computer use type of contract that you didn't read. Another thing, when I've seen this type of action taken, the surveillance can last for weeks and the user has no clue.
