Why do I need to enter my legal name, date of birth, etc. to register payouts?

Voicemachine is a strictly business-to-business service, and we require certain information to create legal agreements, self-billing invoices, and enable automatic payouts to your bank account. We only collect the necessary information and do not use it for any other purposes.

To handle payments automatically, we use Stripe.com to charge customers upfront and pay you as soon as the customer approves your delivery. This ensures that funds are secured for you, while also guaranteeing the customer receives the agreed delivery.

To make this work, we create a Voicemachine-controlled Stripe Connect account in your name. By law, Stripe must verify your identity as the owner of the registered company receiving payouts. Therefore, we need to collect the personal data required by Stripe to enable payouts.

The payout registration is handled securely by Stripe via an encrypted API, and no data is stored on our servers. You will need to complete the process in one session.

Your earnings will be transferred to your registered bank account like any standard bank transfer.

Note: If you are located in a country where automated Stripe payouts are not available, we will still need your company information and bank details to issue a self-billing invoice and process a manual payout. This is the same information you would normally provide on an invoice.
