More details to this question:
I was employed at an organization till about 5 months ago, during my employment I had an personal texting app on the computer. Recently I've found out that what I thought was disconnected for my personal info was actually kept on the computer and individuals were opening it up and looking through all my personal messages. Is there any illegal things that took place in thy situation that I could pursue in court?

the key is ownership of computer. if employer owns computer, then material on computer is owned by employer. if you own computer, then you own what is on computer. the employer has the roght to monitor what is on the employer's computer. ed dimon
