● for contributors
Your recordings, your terms.Paid every time they’re used.
Record conversations or upload your own. When a research team licenses your data, you get paid. When they license it again, you get paid again. Brokers pay once. Datta pays on every license event.

01/your four questions
You own it. You consent to it. You earn from it.
q_01
Do I own my recordings?
Yes. Sessions you record or upload stay yours: you license them on your terms, you don’t sell them. Research teams get a license to use your data; ownership never leaves you.
q_02
What did I consent to?
Only what you explicitly agreed to. Nothing enters the corpus without your consent, given per session. If you record with a partner, every participant consents, with the revenue split agreed up front (50/50 is the default for partner recordings).
q_03
What do I earn?
A share of every license event. When a lab licenses a session you contributed, an earning line is written to your ledger. If another lab licenses it, or the same lab licenses it again, that writes another line. Recurring income, not a one-time check.
q_04
When do I get paid?
Every Friday. Your balance settles out every Friday at 9:00 AM. Not “net 90,” not “when we get around to it.” Every Friday.
consented at the source · paid at every use
02/how it works
Three steps between you and a ledger.
1
Record or upload.
Record a session right in the browser, solo or with a partner. Or upload recordings you already have, up to 5 GiB. Conversational voice and video, today.
2
Consent, on your terms.
Every participant consents explicitly before a session enters the corpus. Recording with a partner? You set the revenue split up front, and 50/50 is the default.
3
Earn on every license.
When a lab licenses a session you contributed, an earning line is written to your ledger. Your balance settles out every Friday at 9:00 AM.
03/the ledger
Not a payout promise. A ledger.
Every license event is a row: who licensed, which pool, what your share is. You watch earnings accrue line by line, then settle weekly.
