# Usage Policy

### **Overview**

The **Usage Policy** (also known as the **Privacy Policy**) defines appropriate internet browsing behavior in the workplace. It typically enforces time restrictions for non-work-related browsing and specifies which types of websites employees are allowed to access. Also referred to as an **Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)**, this policy helps ensure that employees adhere to guidelines designed to protect both their work environment and the organization's IT network.

The Privacy Policy applies to all users with access to the domain and will be displayed when users log in for the first time via the web client. Network administrators can enable the **"Acceptance Required"** setting, requiring users to review and accept the policy before proceeding.

Administrators can configure the Privacy Policy in the[ **Getting Started**](https://guides.mangoapps.com/admin-guide/domain-settings/getting-started/terms-of-service-privacy-policy) tab.

### **Usage Policy for All Users**

If enabled, the Usage Policy will be shown to all new network and guest users upon their first login via the [**Getting Started**](https://guides.mangoapps.com/admin-guide/domain-settings/getting-started/terms-of-service-privacy-policy) page.

Existing network and guest users will see a **Usage Policy/Privacy Policy** pop-up whenever administrators make and save changes to the document.
