Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium May 14, 2026

The updated terms establish a formal opt-in creator program for UK users that permits Whatnot to collect, edit, modify, translate, and promote user-submitted content (videos, images, captions, account information) across its own channels and third-party platforms (TikTok, Instagram, paid social) for one year from submission. Under the revised framework, creators who participate must provide raw video files, tax documentation, and payment information before receiving program benefits, and Whatnot retains discretion to reject submissions, change reward amounts, or terminate the program entirely. Whatnot is not responsible for payment delays caused by incomplete documentation. You can decline participation entirely by not submitting content to the program, or submit selectively and control what content you make available.
