Working on Side Business while in PE?

hi all. Currently a first year associate at a MM fund and was curious to see thoughts on this. is it permitted to work on a personal business while working in PE? Does it need to be disclosed if so? I know in IB that was the case, but not sure about PE

Thanks!
