Data Storage on Laptop

Hello - earlier I asked if I would be sharing data with Splunk, which would take me out of compliance with my company's data storage & use policy. My question was answered with the response that if Splunk was installed on my server, the data would not be shared. My IT team informed me that they installed Splunk on my laptop. Would the data still remain with my company if it was loaded on my laptop?

There's no way to answer this question as:

  1. we don't know what your storage and use policy is
  2. we don't know what your IT team set up splunk to monitor on your laptop (or where they're sending it)

If i had to guess, i'd say they're just ingesting OS logs and sending it to their splunk server. However, there's not enough information to say.
