Company: Human Data Labs
Job Type: Contract / Project-Based
Location: Remote, United States
Project Duration: Approximately 2 weeks
Human Data Labs partners with technology and AI companies to provide flexible, project-based data collection opportunities. We connect qualified participants with projects that help improve and train emerging AI systems.
Human Data Labs is seeking US-based contributors for the US Finance App Data Project, a short-term data collection project involving financial applications and services you already use.
In this project, selected contributors will export financial data from their own existing accounts, use a provided tool to remove personally identifiable information (PII), and submit the cleaned files for quality review.
To complete the project successfully, contributors must provide qualifying exports covering at least 9 financial apps/services, including required financial categories, as well as 2 self-created financial artifacts such as a personal budget spreadsheet, tax workbook, or net-worth/debt tracker.
You will never be asked to provide account passwords, login credentials, or live access to your financial accounts. The project specification states that redaction occurs locally on your device and only cleaned, redacted files are uploaded.
Sign up and complete project onboarding and consent requirements through the designated project platform.
Export data directly from financial apps and accounts that you personally use.
Provide data from at least 1 app in each of the 5 mandatory categories:
Banking & Neobanks
Credit Cards
Payments, P2P & Wallets
Credit Score & Identity
Tax Filing
Provide exports from at least 2 additional eligible financial apps/services, bringing your submission to a minimum of 7 apps/services total.
Submit 2 self-created financial artifacts, such as budget spreadsheets, tax workbooks, or net-worth/debt trackers.
Provide recent, real financial data. Your newest transaction should be within 60 days of submission, and you should export your available historical data for the required period.
Make sure your exports cover matching time periods across your financial services.
Use the provided PII-redaction tool to remove personal and banking identifiers on your own device before uploading.
Review and resubmit files if they are returned for rework during quality review.
The specification requires native exports such as CSV, PDF, XLSX, OFX, or equivalent rather than screenshots, synthetic data, AI-generated files, scraped information, account credentials, or live data feeds.
