AUP - Acceptable Use Policy
AUP is a policy for the use of the Internet within an organization. Companies or organizations can use a AUP filter to exclude some Internet services for their employees or members. Not only organizations can establish their own AUP standard, even parents can do. Many parents use a AUP tool (some sort of filter) to block access to pornographic sites for their children (for example: CyberPatrol).

Acceptable use policy
An acceptable use policy (AUP; also sometimes acceptable usage policy) is a set of rules applied by network and website owners which restrict the ways in which the network or site may be used. AUP documents are written for corporations, businesses, universities, schools, and website owners often to reduce the potential for legal action that may be taken by a user, and often with little prospect of enforcement.
