Quora, Inc.

Quora is a large, user-generated question-and-answer platform where individuals can publicly ask and answer questions on a wide variety of topics. The service builds profiles on its users based on the topics they follow, the questions they engage with, and the content they contribute. While not a traditional people search site, the platform collects a range of personal data including name, contact information, and technical data like IP addresses and browsing activity to personalize user experience and for advertising purposes. The public nature of the content means that personal stories and sensitive information shared by users are often indexed by search engines, making them easily discoverable. This can lead to risks such as doxxing, harassment, and unwanted public exposure of personal details that individuals may not have intended to be widely accessible. To mitigate these risks, individuals should be cautious about the personal information they share, utilize privacy settings to control content visibility, and can request to have their data removed from the platform.
