In mails these are usually written when it's a personal/private matter.

But is there any difference in usage? Like in Case X you should use 私用 or in
Case Y use 私情.

What would be the proper usage for each term?

Usage of 私的, 私用 and 私情
私用 is a no-adjective, 私的 is a na-adjective, and 私情 is a simple noun.

  * 私用のメール means private/personal mails only in the sense of "unrelated to the business".
  * 私的なメール also refers to the same thing, but it tends to have a connotation of "sensitive/secret".
  * [×]私情のメール / [×]私情なメール doesn't make sense.
  * 私情が入ったメール/私情のこもったメール: a subjective mail that is biased by someone's personal feelings; a (business) mail which is interfered by one's personal feelings

When a manager of a company says "Don't send private emails when you are at
work", they can say both 私用のメールを出さないでください and 私的なメールを出さないでください
interchangeably.

You cannot use 私用 in sentences like
「私的なメールを見られなくないので、パスワードをかけています」「サーバーが攻撃され、たくさんの人の私的な写真が流出してしまった」.
