1.Consent to Share: By submitting your sober story to Arclett, you grant us permission to share your story on our website, social media, and related materials. You acknowledge that your story will be read by the sober curious community, as well as the general public. This consent is irrevocable once the story is shared, except as outlined in point 8 regarding deletion and withdrawal.

2. Anonymous Sharing: To protect your privacy, you can choose to share your story anonymously or publicly. If you prefer anonymity, we will not disclose any personal identifying information unless explicitly provided by you. You can decide the level of personal information you wish to disclose. However, please be aware that even when sharing anonymously, interactions with the post such as sharing, liking, or commenting, may potentially reveal your identity. Additionally, while we strive to maintain anonymity, it is important to recognise that details within your story or other contextual information may inadvertently lead to identification, especially if you use your first name or reference specific locations or events. We encourage you to consider these factors carefully when deciding whether to share your story anonymously.

3. Confidentiality and Privacy: While we are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of your sober story, please be aware that once shared on social media, the general public will have access to your story. We strongly advise against sharing sensitive personal information that could potentially identify you or others. However, Arclett cannot guarantee the actions of the general public and their interpretations or responses to your story.

4. GDPR Compliance and Data Handling: We adhere to GDPR regulations and handle your personal data responsibly. Your email address will be collected and stored for communication purposes, but it will not be publicly shared or used for marketing without your explicit consent. Your data will be securely stored and protected against unauthorised access or disclosure.

5. Moderation and Content Review: All submissions will be reviewed by our moderation team to ensure they align with our community guidelines. We reserve the right to edit or decline stories that contain inappropriate or offensive content. However, Arclett cannot be held responsible for any harm caused by the publication or sharing of your story.

6. Impact and Empowerment: By sharing your sober story, you contribute to the sober curious movement. Your experiences can inspire others who are sober or sober curious, but Arclett cannot be held responsible for the interpretation or response of other community members.

7. Responsibility and Accountability: While sharing your sober story can be a positive experience, Arclett cannot be held responsible for any negative consequences that may arise personally or professionally. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are comfortable with sharing your story and aware of the potential risks involved.

8. Deletion and Withdrawal: If you wish to have your sober story removed from our platforms, you may contact us at info@arclett.com. We will promptly review your request and take appropriate action, including removing the story from our platforms if necessary.
