Frequently asked questions.
Only media you send through Cole (photos, voice notes, documents, videos, and conversations) after you opt in. Nothing from before you enrolled is included. Cole never reads your private messages outside its own channels.
All personal identifiers - names, emails, phone numbers, faces, locations, and metadata - are stripped or replaced before your data enters any dataset. Buyers never see who contributed what.
Earnings depend on data type, quality, language, and market demand. Voice data in underrepresented languages can earn significantly more. Most contributors earn between $5 and $50 per month, with power users earning more.
Payouts happen monthly via Stripe once you reach the $10 minimum threshold. You can also choose to receive Pocodot credits instead (with a 50% bonus).
