Arc was built with your safety at the centre of everything.
Arc is for adults aged 18 and over. Every account is a real verified person. One account per person. No bots. No fake profiles.
Nobody can send you a message without your permission. Arc requires a mutual follow before anyone can message you. Businesses cannot cold message personal accounts.
Your dating life is completely invisible to the rest of Arc. Your personal and professional life stay separate. Your location is never shared without your explicit permission.
Block anyone instantly. They disappear from your entire Arc. Report any content in three taps. All reports reviewed within 24 hours. Critical reports within 1 hour.
Arc is an adults-only platform for people aged 18 and over. Age is verified, not self-declared: we use age-assurance checks and may ask you to confirm your age. If we believe an account belongs to someone under 18, we suspend it and ask them to prove they are 18 or over; if they can't, we remove the account and delete its data.
Arc makes money from subscriptions. Not from selling your information. Not from advertising. You can download or delete all your data at any time.
