Legal Requirements

At signup

• Age confirmation — you must be 18+
• Terms acceptance — Partner Agreement + Code of Conduct
• Country of residence — locked after signup

Before your first payout

Complete the Legal Info form on your Settings → Legal page:

• Legal name — as on your government ID
• Tax ID — SSN (US), EIN (US business), TIN, or local equivalent
• Residential address — where you live
• Billing address — where your payment method is registered

What locks after your first paid payout

• Legal name
• Country of residence

To update either, contact support with proof of identity. This protects you from account hijacking and us from payment fraud.

Tax reporting

• US partners: if you earn $600+ in a calendar year, we issue a 1099-NEC and file with the IRS.
• Non-US partners: you’re responsible for reporting income to your local tax authority. We don’t withhold — you receive gross amounts (minus our 5% processing fee).
• Some countries require us to file with your local authority (varies by treaty). We’ll notify you if that applies.

How your data is handled

• Legal name, tax ID, addresses: encrypted at rest, visible only to Dune’s compliance team
• Payment details: stored encrypted, visible only when processing a payout
• Retention: 7 years after account closure (tax law minimum)
• You can request deletion of any non-legally-required data — see the Privacy Policy
