I decided to use my personal Macbook at work, so I'll be using my employer's network connection. But I'm really concerned about my privacy. I know I can do non-work stuff using Tor Browser or Brave's Private window with Tor, but what about my reminders, notes, voice memos and other Apple's built in apps? I am really freaked about my personal stuff. How can I prevent them from accessing it? I know they may never do it, but if there is even the smallest risk, I want to prevent it somehow. Let's say I create another user account specifically for work without logging my Apple ID and use it, will it prevent them from accessing my data stored on another (personal) account?

    You are worried about your employer doing bad things with your traffic, but willing to trust it to random people running Tor exit nodes?! – Esa Jokinen Jun 14 '20 at 08:41

Well, using some dedicated VPN service like NordVPN, or like you said, Tor, should really be enough. That is, unless your employer or co-employees are really nosy or you don't work while you're supposed to. Other things, such as built-in apps, usually remain confined to local storage unless you decide to sync them. Even so, unless you decide to sync to reminders, memos to your non-work Apple ID, not much can me done. And as for preventing them from accessing data stored on your personal account, just make sure you have a strong password.

TL;DR Nothing much to worry.
