At work we have laptops, which we're allowed to use privately. Due to a conflict, my Ofiice 365 account has been blocked, which means that I no longer have access to my laptop.
This results in 2 problems. On the one hand are on my laptop and private data (as I said… Private use was not prohibited). On the other hand, I can no longer access my Outlook company account, whichever my salary statements in mail form.
The conflict was neither about the quality of my work, nor can I be accused of other breaches of duty. It's more of a quarrel about how to deal with customers and the suspension is a bully for me.
Do I have any options here? I'm particularly concerned about the misuse of my data (private family photos, etc.) and my e-mails.
You should never combine work and free time…
You prefer to buy a private laptop for the home.
If you have not made external backups to your private data, it is your own fault.
And who has access to the company account, still determines the company.
And if your boss imposes rules of behavior on HIS clients, they are, of course, valid and you can't interpret them.

Is this documented in any way (eg employment contract, works agreement, etc.)?
Does the permission for private use explicitly include the permission to store private data on the storage media of the employer?
And if not?
saving private data is also "private use".
you might as well ask, "Is the agreement explicit that no private data may be stored?"
Saving private data is also "private use".
Not at all. Storing data creates completely different legal problems for the employer than simply calling up a website.
What if, for example, whether consciously or unconsciously, you store copyrighted material on the employer's computer? Who is liable?
Privacy treatment of your private data - what if the employer mistakenly accesses it?
You probably have no idea how many legal pitfalls exist for you as well as for your employer as a result of private data storage on the company's computer.
?
You just completely distract from my answer and tell completely different things.
YES, if you store private data on service media, all the problems you have described may well apply, of course.
NO: storing private data is private use. It's about what you mean by "use" and not what kind of problems go with it when an AN uses it.
