How is this different from sites like Quora?

Pearl provides workplace-specific and actionable solutions intended to get you unstuck immediately. There's an additional level of vetting to ensure that our authors are the most qualified people to speak on the topic.

How is this different from my company's intranet?

How does data governance and security work? How are you handling our proprietary data?

We recognize that we’re asking you to share sensitive information, and we are taking initiative to give you peace of mind while doing so.

For our part, we’re following Bubble’s security best practices, including setting up privacy rules such that only authenticated users can see what you want them to see. (For the technical: sensitive data never hits the client, and will face restrictions if queried by unauthorized users.)

We also use some of the most widely used, secure, and trusted web services. Bubble uses an AWS database, and we use Stripe for payment processing. Regarding payment, the only information we keep in our backend is whether your account is active/inactive, subscription start and end date, and billing frequency — we do not store your payment information.

For any embedded work, privacy settings are handled there. For example, an embedded Google Doc will only be seen by people who can see the document. These privacy settings are handled separately, and can provide an extra degree of security.

For more on which data we collect and how we use it, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
