Compiled from public sources, unclaimed. What they mean

Each link
  1. 1. Real personClaimed

    Person · Claimed. Government ID checked at onboarding; active liveness challenge at every contribution session; each Trace receipt carries the contributor's KYC status (99.9% of receipts from verified contributors). public evidence

    Still open: ID results are not public; only an opaque per-app ID reaches the ledger, and the KYC status on a receipt is Kled's own assertion. The Trace audit page names Didit as the KYC vendor, but no independent audit of the checks is linked.

  2. 2. Captured locallyNot stated

    Camera · Not stated

    Still open: Not a signed capture, so none (STANDARD §3). What is stated: Camera-original files with EXIF kept; terms ban AI-generated content; the FD 1.0 fraud model screens every upload for AI-generated, internet-sourced, edited and duplicate files. FD 1.0 results are from Kled's internal evaluations only; no C2PA signing and no per-file detector result is published.

    Place · Claimed. GPS and EXIF are kept in Kled's systems; receipts carry only the contributor's region and GPS existence flags.

    Still open: GPS values are never public; ledger resolution is 'never finer than country / state'.

    Needs both: the weaker one counts.

  3. 3. Genuine deviceNot stated

    App · Not stated

    Still open: Task captures are recorded in the Kled app ('Capture Tool: Phone camera (in app)') and the Camera-Original Phone Photos set is 'never imported from a camera roll', but no device or app attestation is published, and the catalogue also contains camera-roll uploads. Capture in the provider's own app or rig is not a server-verified attestation (STANDARD §3).

  4. 4. Sealed captureNot stated

    Camera · Not stated

    Still open: Not a signed capture, so none (STANDARD §3). What is stated: Camera-original files with EXIF kept; terms ban AI-generated content; the FD 1.0 fraud model screens every upload for AI-generated, internet-sourced, edited and duplicate files. FD 1.0 results are from Kled's internal evaluations only; no C2PA signing and no per-file detector result is published.

    Content · Claimed. Every submission is scored for task relevance and quality before acceptance, plus consent checks and masking of faces and personal details; task templates include examples of accepted and rejected submissions.

    Still open: Review criteria and per-dataset rejection data are not published beyond headline QA pass rates.

    Counts only with a stated signing mechanism (C2PA, a manifest).

  5. 5. Known timestampClaimed

    Time · Claimed. Each accepted file gets a Trace receipt within seconds; anyone can look up a file's fingerprint at trace.datafdn.org/verify.

    Still open: A receipt shows when the file was registered, not when it was captured; which chain anchors Trace is not documented. Trace's integration guide says the on-chain tx_hash stays empty until the DATA Foundation broadcasts, and names no chain, so the anchor cannot yet be checked independently.

  6. 6. Tracked in transitClaimed

    Custody record (optional field) · Claimed. Each accepted file gets a receipt on The Data Foundation's Trace ledger (content SHA-256 fingerprint, registration time, consent version, KYC status, payout); later changes and revocations append lifecycle events. Anyone can look up a fingerprint at trace.datafdn.org/verify.

    Still open: A registration and lifecycle record, not per-hop custody. The on-chain tx_hash stays empty until the DATA Foundation broadcasts and no chain is named, so the anchor cannot be checked independently; Kled's signature on submissions is optional. Trace is run by The Data Foundation, which invested in Kled.

  7. 7. Independently verifiedNot stated

    Cross-check · Not stated

    Still open: Nothing independent confirms individual captures; Trace is run by The Data Foundation, which invested $3M in Kled.

  8. 8. Delivered to youNot stated

    Delivery receipt (optional field) · Not stated

Notes

About. A consumer app whose 500,000+ opt-in contributors (company figure) capture photos, video and audio to a buyer's spec, built from 108 task templates and claimed in under 72 hours. Contributors are ID-checked via Didit and pass a liveness check each session; uploads are screened by Kled's fraud model, and each accepted file gets a public receipt on the Trace audit ledger (consent version, KYC status, payout). Buyers get a model-training licence. Ordering is through sales; self-serve is announced as coming.

Price. Not published. The dataset request form asks for a budget band (under $10K, $10K-50K, $50K-250K, $250K+).

Coverage. Kled says its contributors are 'across the US, Southeast Asia and Europe'. Its Trace ledger, by receipt volume, shows Southeast Asia 74.5%, Sub-Saharan Africa 22.7%, North America 2%, EU 0.4%, MENA 0.3%, Latin America 0.1%. Catalogue task-capture datasets list '100+ countries'. Kled can route contributors to a region (e.g. 'egocentric video from Southeast Asia this week').

Timing. 'Any consumer dataset that can exist, can now be collected from physical reality in under 72 hours' and 'deployed to 500,000+ contributors within 72 hours' (Kled V3 post, 30 Sep 2026).

Licence. Contributors grant Kled a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide licence, sublicensable through multiple tiers and exclusive to Kled for AI and ML training. Buyers receive 'a license written for model training'; catalogue datasets carry a 'non-exclusive commercial training license' ('train and ship commercial models'), and exclusivity and term are negotiable. The buyer rights come from product-page copy ('Use it to train and ship commercial models'), not a published contract: the Terms of Service contain no buyer licence. The buyer licence text itself is not public; resale, buyer ownership and Kled's own reuse of delivered data are not stated.
