Company I work for uses GMail - but we have business relation with them as we pay for Business licenses that have business data handling in the agreement.

If employee sets random GMail account that is not covered by agreement that is personal account. Sending company data to personal email account might be grounds for firing person.

Setting up some account at random with OpenAI and putting company details like customer names or else there is data breach.

Companies will let people use the tools - but it is not like one can start setting up random accounts without approval from management. Of course there are different types of companies with less or more red-tape.
