The ARC Network
The Entryway is where you get to know the ARC, and the ARC gets to know you. There's no rush and nothing to complete. It's a time of discernment, with real people alongside you.
Inside, you're invited to read, connect with people from the ARC, and experience the practice of dyadic unfolding.
Three short steps, about five minutes.
Already with the ARC? Sign in
First, a little about you.
Who reads what you've written. The Entryway's stewards, your host once you've met on a connection call, and whoever answers the door if you knock. Members of the ARC without a role in the Entryway don't see it.
We will never sell your information or run marketing sequences at you.
What reaches your email inbox. A link to sign in when you ask for one, answers to a knock, and your host's first message. Anything else comes in one note on Monday, and on Thursday only if a message is waiting. An email for every message, or in the app only, can be set in your notification settings on your page.
How we hold your information
Entering opens once the box above is ticked.
What you share here, you share into something. We would rather be transparent about where it goes than ask you to trust a shield.
What we hold. The details you enter here, such as your name, email, where you are based, your availability, and what draws you to ARC, along with any notes from our conversations as your discernment unfolds.
Recording and sensitive detail. If we would like to record a conversation, we will tell you first and ask your agreement. Open-ended answers may touch on sensitive things, such as your health or beliefs. Please share only what you are comfortable sharing, and we will limit who can see it.
Where it lives. In our member system, which is built on Notion, and in the everyday tools we use to stay in touch and to meet, such as email, calendar, and video calls. We also use AI tools to help us coordinate and draft, with a person always responsible; this is part of how we work.
How long we keep it. Only as long as it serves a real purpose. If we do not end up moving forward together, we delete or minimise your information rather than holding on to it indefinitely.
What you can ask of us. You can ask to see what we hold, to correct it, to have a detail redacted, to export it, or to have it deleted, and you can withdraw your consent whenever you wish. We will never hold this against you, though we do need at least your email and a few basics to stay in relationship, so deleting everything means we can no longer keep you in the network. If you are in the EU or UK, you also have the right to raise a concern with your data protection authority. Write to us at admin@arcnetwork.is and we will take care of it.
For the full detail, including the lawful bases we rely on, see our Privacy Notice for People Exploring the ARC Network.
