Using ChatGPT on personal device to help with work

I work at a large corporate in the UK in a fairly senior position – I am under an increasing amount of stress and have limited headcount to help me (lots of redundancies recently). On occasion, I’m using ChatGPT to summarise text that I need to reproduce for an executive audience – I’ll usually do this by taking a photo on my personal device of the text on my work laptop screen, which ChatGPT then analyses and I’ll instruct it to do what I need it to do with the text. I never do this on the work WiFi but I do have a management profile installed on my personal device (although I understand from the profile permissions that it can’t see my activity on any non-managed apps, and ChatGPT is not one of the managed apps). I’m doing this because I’m struggling to keep up and just don’t have the brain capacity to stretch across everything at the moment, and although I have raised the resourcing challenges to my management, nothing is likely to be done about it any time soon. I’m also highly paid and doubt they care.

My question: is there any way that my employer can track what is going into ChatGPT and trace it back to me? I assume in order for that to happen, my employer would have to be using some kind of software that has an access channel to ChatGPT’s own servers, which seems unlikely.
