Everybody has a cell phone nowadays. There's no excuse not to use your cell phone for private stuff. In fact don't use the company Wi-Fi. You must use the company Wi-Fi then you must use a VPN
But no excuse anymore not to use your phone, you don't need to use the word computer to browse, send emails, flirt, whatever
And if you don't have a VPN set up, use Tor on your phone:

The Tor website provides .apk files for Android, and there is an F-Droid release too. https://www.torproject.org/download/#android
