I've got a situation where my home internet is down, so I decided to use my personal phone's Hotspot to connect my work laptop. I'm curious about data privacy here. Since my work laptop is now using my phone's connection, can my employer's IT department see my browsing activities through my phone?

Nope, your phone is just the middleman for internet access, so your laptop is the one that’s actually online. If you’re using a VPN for work, all they’ll see is your laptop’s connection, not your phone's.
Not at all! Think of your phone as a router – similar to your home WiFi. Your company won’t have access to anything on your phone. It’s like when you connect your work laptop to your home network; they can’t see anything else.
Unless there’s some spyware on your laptop, they shouldn’t be able to see what you’re doing on your phone.
