Clients fund data projects at an hourly rate. Workers complete annotation, AI evaluation and data entry tasks in a built-in workspace, with a verified timer that only pays for time they are genuinely working.
The platform connects organisations that need datasets labelled, verified or entered with the workers who do that work. Every project carries a client hourly rate, a worker hourly rate, estimated and maximum hours, a maximum budget, a deadline, a required worker level and a quality-assurance policy. Clients fund the project into escrow before it opens; workers qualify, start a verified work session, complete tasks and submit them for review. Only QA-approved hours become payable, and only then is the worker credited.
Data annotation:
Data entry:
A worker's timer is driven by activity signals, not by leaving a page open. If a worker stops interacting for a configurable window — five, ten or fifteen minutes, set by the administrator — the payable timer pauses automatically and that time is never paid. Only an admin can change payable hours, and every such change is written to an audit log.
Every worker verifies their identity before they can be paid. Unusual sessions are flagged for human review rather than automatically punished. The platform never sells personal data. Read the full Terms & Policies, including our privacy policy.
The rules that keep the platform fair and safe, and exactly how we handle your data. Effective September 2026.
The platform is an online data annotation, AI evaluation and data entry workforce marketplace, operated from Nairobi, Kenya. It connects clients who need datasets labelled, evaluated, verified or entered with workers who perform that work. The platform handles the full lifecycle of an engagement: a client posts and funds a project with an hourly rate and a maximum budget, qualified workers start a verified work session and complete tasks in the built-in workspace, submissions move through quality assurance, and only QA-approved hours are credited to the worker's available balance for withdrawal via M-Pesa or other channels.
Eligibility and accounts. You must be 18 or older and provide accurate identity information. One account per person; duplicates may be frozen. You are responsible for activity on your account.
Nature of work. Workers submit their own original annotations, evaluations and data-entry results. Copying another worker's answers, fabricating accuracy, using automated scripts to complete tasks, and misrepresenting qualifications are serious violations.
Verified working time. Payment is based on verified active working time recorded by the work-session timer, not on elapsed wall-clock time. The timer advances only while the worker is producing activity, and pauses automatically after a configurable idle window set by the administrator. A worker may not alter payable hours, rates or approvals, and any administrative adjustment to payable time is recorded in an audit log.
Conduct. Respect other members in chats and community spaces. Harassment, spam, sharing client briefs outside the platform and off-platform payment attempts are prohibited.
Enforcement. Violations may result in frozen or suspended accounts. Suspended accounts may be reviewed through the platform's review process; a penalty fee may apply to lift a suspension.
Client obligations. Clients fund escrow at award time, provide clear briefs and review submissions fairly. Contract-cheating briefs and unlawful content are rejected.
Clients fund a project's maximum budget into escrow before it becomes visible to workers. Escrowed funds belong to neither party until work is accepted: the client cannot withdraw them, and workers are paid only for hours that pass quality assurance. Work returned for rework does not consume additional budget. Disputes are mediated by platform administrators, who consider the task definition, the submitted answers and the session record. Closed projects return unspent escrow to the client.
Clients top up via M-Pesa (instant STK push), PayPal, card, bank or crypto. Workers earn in USD and withdraw to M-Pesa or other supported channels; a minimum applies and a service fee is shown on every receipt. Local-currency amounts shown to a worker are display equivalents only — all balances, budgets and calculations are stored and computed in USD. Workers are credited into a pending balance when a work session ends, and that balance moves to the available balance only when the work is approved. The administrator's published payment details are the only official channels. Workers are responsible for their own taxes.
Who we are. The platform operator runs this website and marketplace, published in line with the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019 and GDPR-style good practice. Contact details are in the Contact section below.
Data we collect. Account data (name, email, secure password hash, photo, headline, bio, skills, languages, country, role); identity-verification data (government ID or passport photo, live selfie, certificates) collected only when you complete KYC; payment data (transactions, M-Pesa number or payout details); communication data (chats, support tickets, review requests); usage data (sessions, device type, last-seen, push tokens if you enable notifications). If you sign in with Google, we receive only your name, email and profile picture — we never post on your behalf and do not access other Google services.
How we use it. To create and secure accounts; verify identity before payments; operate escrow and payouts; record work sessions, active and idle time and task submissions for quality assurance and payment calculation; show your profile in the worker directory (name, headline, bio, skills, languages, country, verified badge); send transactional notifications; prevent fraud and abuse; meet legal obligations.
Sharing. We never sell personal data. We share data only with payment processors (M-Pesa/Smartpay, Paystack, PayPal) to move money, our hosting and authentication infrastructure (Convex), Google if you use Google sign-in, and platform administrators who moderate content and review KYC documents. KYC documents are visible to administrators only — never to other users.
Public visibility. Your directory profile (name, photo, headline, bio, skills, languages, country, verified badge) is visible to other signed-in users. Your email address is never shown publicly in the directory, to protect you from spam.
Retention. Account and transaction records are kept while your account is active and up to 7 years after closure for financial record-keeping. Work-session and submission records are retained for the same period because they are the basis for payment. KYC documents are kept while your account is active. Chats are kept until you delete them; view-once attachments are purged shortly after viewing.
Security. Passwords are stored as salted hashes; sessions use secure httpOnly cookies; uploads travel over TLS; payment keys are server-side secrets never exposed to the browser.
Your rights. You can access, correct, export or delete your data, and object to certain processing. Contact us (see Contact) — we respond within 30 days. You may complain to the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (Kenya).
Children. The platform is not for under-18s and we do not knowingly collect their data. International transfers: our infrastructure may process data outside Kenya under standard contractual safeguards.
We use one strictly-necessary httpOnly session cookie to keep you signed in, plus local storage for your theme preference and dismissed notices. No advertising cookies, no cross-site trackers, no third-party analytics beacons — so there is no consent banner. Clearing cookies simply signs you out.
Project funding held in escrow and drawn down by approved hours is non-refundable; unspent escrow returns to the client when a project is closed, and unspent client balances can be withdrawn at any time. Duplicated deposits are refunded within 72 hours. Class fees are non-refundable once enrollment is recorded. Subscriptions can be cancelled before renewal. Corrections made by an administrator to a worker's payable hours are recorded with a reason in the audit log and reflected in the worker's pending balance.
Withdrawals require approved identity verification. You provide a government ID or passport photo and a live selfie; administrators compare them and never share documents with clients or other workers. Rejections always state a reason and can be resubmitted free. Submitting another person's documents means a permanent ban. KYC data is used solely for verification and legal compliance.
