Privacy Policy

FIRST SEEN 2026-08-27 · VERSION 20260827_rev01 · FIRST CAPTURED VERSION

What changed, in plain language

Dailymotion rewrote the parts of its privacy policy that cover paying creators in the Partner Program. It now lists a much longer set of information it can collect from you and receive about you — including tax records, identity documents, and business details — and it can now get payment information from its payment provider automatically instead of only when you connect an account yourself. It also newly mentions deducting transaction fees and quietly changed a promise about credit cards from "we don't access your credit card information" to "we don't access your full credit-card information." Nothing changes for people who only watch videos.

Changes that may affect you

Far more personal and financial data collected from creators who get paidMATERIAL
DATA COLLECTION

If you earn money on Dailymotion, the company can now collect your tax records, identity documents, business details, country of residence, and paperwork for fraud and regulatory checks. Much of this is standard for paying people legally, but it is a real expansion of sensitive data held about you compared with the old wording, and the list ends with an open-ended catch-all for whatever documents checks may require.

tax information, billing information, invoice information, payment-request information, business or legal-entity information, identity information, payment status, and information or documents required for tax, identity, business, fraud-prevention, or regulatory checks

What you can do — If you monetize on Dailymotion, review what you upload in the payment-registration screen in Dailymotion Studio and only provide documents actually requested. Ordinary viewers are unaffected.

Payment provider data now flows in automaticallyMINOR
DATA COLLECTION

You no longer have to link a payment account for Dailymotion to receive detailed information about you from a payment provider. It can now get payment identifiers, verification results, fee amounts, and records of failed, rejected, suspended, or reversed payments for whichever provider handles your payout.

payment-account identifiers, payment-method information, payment confirmations, payment status, payment-request status, invoice information, verification results, fee information, and information concerning failed, rejected, suspended, reversed, or completed payments
New mention of transaction fees taken out of your payoutMINOR
BILLING & RENEWAL

The policy now says Dailymotion may calculate or deduct transaction fees when paying you. The old version said nothing about deducting fees. The amount is not stated here, so you would need to check your Partner Program terms and payout statements to see what is being taken.

calculate or deduct applicable transaction fees

What you can do — Check your payout statements in Dailymotion Studio against your expected earnings, and ask support for the fee schedule if the numbers don't match.

Credit card promise weakened by one wordMINOR
OTHER

The earlier promise was that Dailymotion does not use or access your credit card information at all. Adding the word "full" means it can now handle partial card details, such as the card type or last digits, without breaking that promise.

Note that we do not use or otherwise access Your full credit-card information.

Changelog

  1. ± CHANGEDMuch longer list of information collected from Partner Program creators

    The old policy said Dailymotion might collect your address, bank or payment account details, and billing and contact info. The new version lists far more: your country, tax information, invoice and payment-request records, business or legal-entity details, identity information, payment status, and any documents needed for tax, identity, business, fraud, or regulatory checks. This only applies if you earn money through the Partner Program.

    Dailymotion may also collect Your payment information, such as Your address, bank account or online payment system details and authentication information, as well as billing and contact details depending on the payment system You choose.

    This may include Your name, address, country of residence, contact details, bank details, payment-method information, payment-account information, tax information, billing information, invoice information, payment-request information, business or legal-entity information, identity information, payment status, and information or documents required for tax, identity, business, fraud-prevention, or regulatory checks.

  2. ± CHANGEDDailymotion can now receive payment data from its provider without you connecting an account

    Before, Dailymotion only received your payment account details if you chose to link an account with one of its payment providers. Now it can receive information from whichever payment provider handles your payout, whether or not you linked anything — including verification results, fees, and records of failed, rejected, suspended, or reversed payments.

    If You are entitled to payment from our Service and You chose to integrate an account You have with one of our payment solution service providers, we will receive the payment account details corresponding to Your account.

    If You are entitled to payment from our Service, we may receive from the payment service provider used for the relevant payment flow information necessary to administer payments owed to You.

  3. ± CHANGEDExpanded reasons for using creator payment data

    The "Pay You" section was rewritten. Beyond simply sending you money, Dailymotion now says it uses your revenue, tax, identity, invoice and payment data to administer statements, manage payment methods, prevent fraud, calculate or deduct transaction fees, and meet tax, accounting, financial, and regulatory rules.

    If You are a member of the Dailymotion Partner Program, we use Your billing information, such as Your billing address or payment methods details, to proceed with payment of sums generated under our Partner Program monetization features.

    we use Your revenue, billing, tax, payment, identity, invoice, payment-request, and related account information to calculate and process payments owed to You, administer statements, process invoices and payment requests, manage payment methods, confirm payment status, calculate or deduct applicable transaction fees, prevent fraud, and comply with applicable tax, accounting, financial, and regulatory obligations.

  4. + ADDEDPayment sign-up now happens inside Dailymotion Studio

    The policy now explains that your payment, tax, identity, business, and banking details may be entered through a payment-registration screen shown inside Dailymotion Studio, run by the payment provider.

    Payment, tax, identity, business, and banking information may be collected through the payment-registration interface made available in Dailymotion Studio by the payment service provider used for the relevant payment flow.

  5. ± CHANGEDCredit card promise narrowed to "full" card details

    The old line said Dailymotion does not use or access your credit card information. The new line says it does not use or access your "full" credit-card information, which leaves room for partial card data such as the last four digits or card type.

    Note that we do not use or otherwise access Your credit card information.

    Note that we do not use or otherwise access Your full credit-card information.
