Bounties

How it works

We buy documents people already have: photos, reports, receipts and paperwork from real jobs. Here’s what happens, and the terms that apply.

Jump to questions or the terms

  1. 1Submit your documents

    Pick an offer, upload the documents for one job or claim, and submit.

  2. 2We check every document

    We compare them to the offer’s list and email you once they’ve been reviewed.

  3. 3We remove personal details

    Personal information like names, addresses, and account numbers is removed.

  4. 4You say yes or no

    We send you our final price. Yes and we license them. No and we delete them.

  5. 5You get paid within 7 days

    We send the money straight to your bank. The first time, you give us your bank and tax details.

Your documents stay private

Only you and Watt can see them. Nothing leaves Watt until you’ve approved our price. If they don’t fit, or you say no, we delete them for good within 30 days.

Questions

Who can submit documents?

Anyone 18 or older who can receive payment in the United States, with documents that match an offer and that they have the legal right to share.

Do I need to redact my documents?

No. Please submit the original documents. We remove personal information before anything is shared.

What if I get something wrong?

If you submitted in good faith, the most you would ever owe us is a refund of what we paid you for those documents. Only knowingly submitting fake documents, or documents you had no right to share, goes beyond that.

What are the documents used for?

Once you approve our price, we license the de-identified documents to companies that build and evaluate AI systems.

Can I submit more than once?

Yes. Make a separate submission for each job or claim until the offer closes. You can also upload a ZIP file with one folder for each.

Submission terms

Last updated November 12, 2026

These submission terms are an agreement between you and Watt Data, Inc. (“Watt”). They apply when you submit documents to an offer on bounties.wattdata.ai. Section 14 lists the parts of the Watt Terms of Service that also apply. For submissions, these terms control if the two conflict. You accept them each time you click Submit for review.

1. Who can take part

You must be at least 18, able to receive payment in the United States, and have the legal right to share the documents you submit. If you submit for a company, you confirm you can act for it, and “you” means that company.

2. What you submit

Documents that match an offer. Each offer lists what to submit and the unit it pays for, like one job or one crash. Make one submission per unit. An offer may limit how many units one person or company can submit. Watt pays for each unit once, and does not have to accept any submission.

3. What you promise

When you submit, you promise that:

  • you have the right to share the documents and to give Watt the license in section 7;
  • they are real and unchanged: not edited, altered, generated or faked in any way;
  • as far as you know, sharing them with Watt does not break any law or any agreement you are bound by, including with a customer, homeowner, insurance company, program or employer;
  • as far as you know, if they include information about other people, you are allowed to share it with Watt for this purpose;
  • you have not submitted the same documents before, and once you accept our price, you will not sell or license them to anyone else for building, training or testing AI.

4. How we review

Watt decides, in its sole discretion, whether your documents fit the offer. We may email you with questions, and we email you once they’ve been reviewed.

5. Our price and your OK

If your documents fit, Watt removes personal details and sends you a final price.

The listed price is for the full package. If anything on the list is missing, our price may be lower. Our price is final and not open to negotiation. You can accept it or decline it.

Our price is good for 14 days. If you don’t respond by then, it expires and we treat it as declined. If an offer fills before you accept, Watt may withdraw its price.

6. Payment

Watt pays you by bank transfer within 7 days after you accept our price and give us valid bank and tax details. Watt is not responsible for delays caused by missing or incorrect details.

You are responsible for your own taxes. Watt reports payments to the IRS and withholds amounts where the law requires.

7. The license you give Watt

Before you accept, you let Watt store, copy, review and clean your documents only to decide whether they fit, make you a price, detect fraud and meet legal requirements.

When you accept, you give Watt a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable and sublicensable license, with no payment beyond the accepted price, to use, copy, change, remove personal details from, combine, build on and license the documents and anything made from them, including to train, test and evaluate AI. To the extent the law allows, you waive any moral rights in the documents.

8. Who sees your documents

Only you and Watt can see what you upload. Here, Watt includes our employees, contractors and service providers who need access to run this program and must keep it confidential. Nothing is shared outside Watt until you have accepted our price, except where the law requires it or to deal with suspected fraud.

Before sharing, Watt takes reasonable steps to remove names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, policy and account numbers and signatures, and to blur faces, license plates and house numbers in photos and video. Watt will not try to identify the people in the documents, and requires the companies it licenses them to not to try either.

Watt uses your own contact and payment details to run this program, as described in the Privacy Policy.

9. Documents we don’t use

If your documents don’t fit, or you decline or don’t answer our price, Watt deletes them from its systems within 30 days, and from backups on their normal schedule. Watt may keep a record that the submission happened.

Watt may keep documents longer if the law requires it, or if Watt reasonably suspects fraud and needs them as evidence.

10. If something is wrong with documents we paid for

If Watt finds that documents it paid for break a promise in section 3, Watt may stop using them, and you must refund what Watt paid you for them within 30 days of Watt’s notice. Watt may also deduct the refund from any other amount it owes you.

If Watt reasonably determines that you knowingly submitted fake or altered documents, or documents you knew you had no right to share, Watt may also close your account, stop you from taking part in future offers, and report it to law enforcement or the affected company where the law allows.

11. Honest mistakes

If you submitted documents in good faith and something in section 3 turns out to be wrong, the most you will ever owe Watt is a refund of what Watt paid you for those documents.

This limit does not apply if you knowingly submitted fake or altered documents, or documents you knew you had no right to share.

12. Limits on Watt’s liability

Watt runs this program as is and does not promise that any offer will stay open or that any submission will be accepted.

Watt’s total liability to you for anything relating to these terms or your submissions is limited to the greater of $100 or the amount Watt paid or owes you for the submission involved. Watt is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or lost profits. These limits do not apply where the law does not allow them.

13. Changes to these terms

Watt may update these terms for future submissions. Each submission follows the version you accepted when you submitted it.

14. Everything else

The “Assignment, Change of Control, and General Terms” section of the Watt Terms of Service also applies, including Tennessee law and courts and how notices work. You take part as an independent party, not as Watt’s employee or agent. If any part of these terms can’t be enforced, the rest still applies. Questions go to support@wattdata.ai.
