Privacy Policy

Account information: your name, email address, and a LinkedIn profile URL you provide during registration to verify identity.

Career content: the career stories, CV text, notes, positioning statements, company targets, and interview preparation materials you submit through the Service.

Usage data: pages visited, feature usage, login timestamps, login count, and similar activity metrics that help us improve the Service.

Payment data: when you purchase a plan we process payments through Stripe. We do not store your full card number — Stripe handles card data. We retain billing records (plan, status, dates) and, where relevant, referral status tied to your email.

Technical data: IP address, browser type, and device information collected automatically.

• To create and manage your account and verify your identity.
• To deliver the Business Archetypes® diagnostic, Pattern Map, Executive Positioning Intelligence, Opportunity Map™, and Interview Intelligence™ outputs.
• To process payments and manage your subscription, including automated expiry tracking.
• To administer the referral program and grant earned free months.
• To provide coaching sessions and related communications from E. Buoncore / Arcline.
• To improve our products, analytics, and the accuracy of the framework.
• To comply with legal obligations and prevent abuse.

We process your personal data on the following legal bases: performance of our contract with you (account, paid plans, coaching), your consent (career content and registration details), our legitimate interests (service improvement and security), and compliance with legal obligations.

For users in Switzerland and the EEA, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of your data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Service providers: we share data only with processors that help us operate the Service, including:

• Stripe — payment processing (card data is collected directly by Stripe on its hosted checkout).
• Hosting and database infrastructure providers.
• Email delivery and authentication providers.
• AI/LLM providers used to generate diagnostic and coaching outputs from your career content.

Aggregated or anonymised data: we may publish statistical insights that do not identify you.

Legal disclosure: where required by law, court order, or to protect our rights and the safety of others.

We do not sell your personal data.

Your career content and account data are disclosed only to the processors listed above and to E. Buoncore / Arcline staff for coaching and support. We do not publish your career stories, CV, or positioning outputs publicly. Processors are bound by data processing agreements and access your data solely to provide the contracted service.

Some processors may be located outside Switzerland and the EEA. Where this occurs, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses and only transfer data necessary to provide the Service.

We apply industry-standard measures to safeguard your information, including encrypted data transmission (TLS), restricted access controls, and segregation of payment data (handled by Stripe, which is PCI-DSS compliant). Account access is authenticated, and administrative access is limited to authorised personnel.

No system is perfectly secure. If a breach occurs that is likely to result in a risk to your rights, we will notify you and the competent authority without undue delay, in accordance with applicable law.

We retain your account and career content for as long as your account is active. If you close your account or request deletion, we will delete your personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law (for example, accounting records). Payment records are retained for the period required by applicable tax and accounting law.

We use essential cookies/local storage to maintain your session and authentication, and analytics to understand usage. We do not use cookies for cross-site advertising. You can disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not function correctly as a result.

To exercise any data-protection right (access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, or withdrawal of consent), contact us via arcline.one. We will respond within the period required by applicable law (one month under GDPR).

The Service is intended for professionals and is not directed to individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

For privacy questions or requests, contact us at arcline.one. The data controller is E. Buoncore, operating Business Archetypes® and Arcline.
