Our commitment

Respect for the people who answer

Software can collect answers in seconds. Understanding people takes care. After more than 20 years in market research across Europe and the Americas, we built Pulse so that a teacher, a shop owner or a student can ask good questions as easily as a large company.

That is why answers are anonymous by default, data expires automatically, and nobody’s information is ever sold.
