Complete Tasks with Integrity

Your tasks help accelerate the development of AI applications by creating high-quality training data. We trust you with completing these tasks accurately! Remotaskers should:

  • Complete all tasks by yourself to the best of your ability without seeking the assistance of other persons, technological automation such as bots or scripts, or third-party materials or tools - unless specifically required by a Remotasks administrator;
  • Only work on tasks for which you have completed the required scope of work or read the informational materials;
  • Complete tasks in a diligent, timely, and honest manner to the best of your ability;
  • Complete all certification and qualification tests that may be required for the given project;
  • Treat everyone with respect;
  • Communicate in a language that is accessible to those working on the project;
  • Use the appropriate channel for raising questions or concerns;
  • Understand that task participation is voluntary, and declining a task will not negatively impact ratings or reputation;
  • Only represent yourself as an independent contractor of Remotasks, and not an employee of Remotasks or any related entity.

To maintain trust in our platform for customers and other users, you must not:

  • Share Account credentials with any other person;
  • Create multiple Accounts or falsely change Account information;
  • Inaccurately represent who you are, where you are located, or your experience;
  • Sell or purchase Accounts;
  • Manipulate or exploit the platform, tools, or instructions to gain advantage or artificially inflate pay.

Transparency

Remotasks ensures transparency in work allocation by specifying the methods used to manage and distribute tasks. Work allocation is determined based on onboarding status, hardware and software requirements, and geographic location. These criteria ensure that Contributors are matched with tasks they can efficiently complete. Additionally, we are committed to Contributor engagement when making substantive changes to these methods. To reinforce this transparency, we provide clear documentation outlining our work allocation processes in the FAQ, ensuring Contributors understand how tasks are assigned and when algorithms are used in the process.

‍

Remotasks is committed to transparency and fairness in platform updates. If changes to task availability, rating systems, account policies, or work availability occur, affected Contributors will receive prior notification when feasible. While immediate action may be necessary in cases of policy violations or security risks, we will strive to provide notice before implementing changes that impact work opportunities, earnings, or account status.

‍

Notification of Changes

Remotasks is committed to providing Contributors with a fair and transparent working environment. To support this, we will notify Contributors in advance of any changes that may impact their work or pay. This includes changes to the Terms of Use and Community Guidelines, ensuring that Contributors have the necessary time to review and adjust to the new terms. Notifications will be sent via Remotasks Community, in-platform announcements, email, or dashboard alerts. This applies to all changes, not just material ones, to ensure Contributors have sufficient time to adjust to updates affecting their work. We will make every effort to notify Contributors within a 30-day notice period.
