I have a side startup that, occasionally, gets some email to my personal email. I'd like to also check my personal email on my work laptop, but would my IP for my startup get rolled into FAANG if I check my personal email? I'd only read my email, not send any email (i.e. conduct business)

I live & work in Chicago, and for the past year or so I've been working on my side-hustle when I get home from work. But, getting focused at home is a real struggle and I'm looking into other options.

Does anyone else have advice? I've thought about bringing my personal laptop to work and then working on my side-hustle after work hours, but I'm worried about the legal implications. There's no way my day job has business conflicts with my side hustle, but I'm worried if there's still some potential IP that I give up by working in my office.
