DataAnnotation's own warning: DataAnnotation says it never asks applicants or workers for money, only requests financial details inside the logged-in platform, and that you should apply only through its official sign-up flow.

Check an offer is really from DataAnnotation

  • Check the website or email address belongs to one of DataAnnotation's own domains: dataannotation.tech, app.dataannotation.tech. Paste an address into our checker.
  • Be wary of anyone who contacts you first on WhatsApp, Telegram or text message offering DataAnnotation work.
  • Don't pay anything to start, "unlock" tasks or withdraw earnings. Don't send your bank PIN, passwords or card details.
  • Look the role up on DataAnnotation's own job board, or on its page here. If you can't find it there, treat the offer as fake.
