An acceptable use policy is typically not required by law, like a privacy policy or cookies policy. However, it can help you protect your businesses against misuse by users.

If there’s a chance that users could misuse your app, you need a clear and enforced acceptable use policy. Many popular apps, such as Dropbox and several Google Cloud apps, include acceptable use policies.

If your website is simply a portfolio of your work, you may not need an AUP. However, if it is a web-based service with users needing access to different website functions, you will need an AUP.

Like an acceptable use policy, a term of use includes the rules the user should follow to access the site and penalties for breach of that agreement. An AUP is narrower, laying out the appropriate way for the website or network to be used.
