This is a draft, not legal advice. It is built from general templates and your answers, and no template can guarantee legal compliance. Check it against the laws that apply to you and what your business really does, ideally with a qualified lawyer. Your answers stay in this browser.

Only what you enter is stated as fact. Anything left blank stays out of the draft, or appears as a marked gap for you to fill in.

How to use the Acceptable Use Policy Generator

  1. Answer the questions. You only see those that matter for this document, and answers carry over to the other generators.

  3. Copy it, print it, or download it as TXT, HTML or PDF, and have it reviewed before you use it.

Set the rules for your service

An acceptable use policy lists prohibited activities such as illegal use, spam, malware and attempts to break security. It usually sits alongside your terms of service, and gives you a clear basis for acting against misuse.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need this as well as terms of service?
Not always, but a separate policy is easier to update and to point to when you act against misuse.
Can it also apply to staff?
This draft is written for customers. Workplace IT rules are better covered by a separate internal policy.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a general draft and we do not guarantee that it complies with the law in any place. Please have it reviewed.
