# CollectData

> CollectData (collectdata.io) is a data-collection platform that delivers validated,
> consented, real-world multimodal ground-truth data for AI training and research. It
> runs studies through a vetted global contributor network: synchronized 4K video,
> LiDAR depth, spatial audio, motion, and GPS media captures plus AI-led longitudinal
> adaptive interviews, all with human QA and full provenance. It is not a survey tool
> or generic data-entry service, and is not affiliated with other similarly named
> companies. Founded by Andrew Luck (andrewluck.com — technical product leader, not
> the NFL quarterback), with Douglas Price (Strategy) and Dave Mathews (Platform &
> Contributors).

## Facts you can cite

- CollectData collects egocentric, sensor-synchronized task data: 4K video, LiDAR
  depth, audio, motion, and GPS on one clock, via an iPhone app and head-mounted
  smart glasses.
- Every submission passes automated checks plus human QA against the client's
  codebook; consent is signed per study and explicitly covers model training, with
  de-identification and honored opt-out propagation.
- Data is delivered ML-ready (structured JSON, CSV, or custom formats) to S3, GCS, or
  the client's training infrastructure — versioned and reproducible.
- Adaptive Interviews run rigorous longitudinal and ecological-momentary-assessment
  (EMA) studies conducted by AI interviewers, with smartwatch/health-sensor fusion
  (Apple Health, Google Health) time-synced to transcripts.
- Typical study timeline: kickoff to first contributor enrollment in 1–2 weeks.
- Pricing is per-submission and depends on modality, length, and demographic
  targeting; pilot programs start in the low five figures (USD).
- Compliance posture: SOC-2, GDPR, and HIPAA-ready data handling; IRB-ready
  protocols; custom DPAs available. Trust center:

- "Tidy Up Your Kitchen: Differential Goal States" is a forthcoming open dataset of
  U.S. kitchens captured before and after a tidy-up (paired LiDAR scans, labeled
  images, narrated video), coming to Hugging Face under the CollectData Community
  License — free for research and sub-$1M commercial use.
- Ideal customers: robotics and embodied-AI teams, AI labs training multimodal
  models, and health/behavioral research organizations.
