FAQs
What is an AUP?
An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) – sometimes called an acceptable usage policy or fair use policy (FUP) – is a legal document used by organisations to define how they intend for their digital services, websites, or networks to be used. It defines both acceptable and unacceptable behaviors, as well as any consequences for misuse.
What is the purpose of an AUP?
An AUP protects you from liability if your digital product, services or networks are used in a way that is unethical, irresponsible or illegal.
Which businesses need an AUP?
We recommend implementing an AUP if your business is responsible for an app, digital service, digital product or network that could cause harm if misused by your customers or employees. An AUP is a critical part of your framework of information security policies, which is why the largest digital services on the planet all have one, for example, Reddit, Cloudflare and Wikipedia.
Why use an AUP generator over a AUP template?
There are a few great reasons to use an AUP generator over a template.
- Generating a policy takes less time than editing a template
- Generators come with a dashboard that allow you to update all your policies from one place
- Generators will host your policy which means you wont need a website to display it to your customers
- Generators like GetTerms monitor changes in laws and will notify you if you need to update your Acceptable Use Policy
- Generators will ask you clear questions that you can easily understand so that your policy can be tailored to your business, keeping you more protected from liability.
Is an AUP the same as a terms and conditions?
Not exactly. While terms and conditions and acceptable use policy are similar and can serve the same function, they differ in scope. An acceptable use policy typically governs the rules when using an organization’s digital products and I.T. services, where a terms and conditions agreement is usually more relevant to a business’s website and the general contractual relationship between a business and its customers. In many cases, an AUP is also used internally as one of the documents employees and contractors are required to sign before gaining access to a business’s digital infrastructure.
