# Perplexity Data Handling

## Overview
Handle sensitive data correctly when integrating with Perplexity.

## Prerequisites
- Understanding of GDPR/CCPA requirements
- Perplexity SDK with data export capabilities
- Database for audit logging
- Scheduled job infrastructure for cleanup

## Data Classification

| Category | Examples | Handling |
|----------|----------|----------|
| PII | Email, name, phone | Encrypt, minimize |
| Sensitive | API keys, tokens | Never log, rotate |
| Business | Usage metrics | Aggregate when possible |
| Public | Product names | Standard handling |

## PII Detection

```typescript
const PII_PATTERNS = [
  { type: 'email', regex: /[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}/g },
  { type: 'phone', regex: /\b\d{3}[-.]?\d{3}[-.]?\d{4}\b/g },
  { type: 'ssn', regex: /\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}\b/g },
  { type: 'credit_card', regex: /\b\d{4}[- ]?\d{4}[- ]?\d{4}[- ]?\d{4}\b/g },
];

function detectPII(text: string): { type: string; match: string }[] {
  const findings: { type: string; match: string }[] = [];

  for (const pattern of PII_PATTERNS) {
    const matches = text.matchAll(pattern.regex);
    for (const match of matches) {
      findings.push({ type: pattern.type, match: match[0] });
    }
  }

  return findings;
}
```

## Data Redaction

```typescript
function redactPII(data: Record<string, any>): Record<string, any> {
  const sensitiveFields = ['email', 'phone', 'ssn', 'password', 'apiKey'];
  const redacted = { ...data };

  for (const field of sensitiveFields) {
    if (redacted[field]) {
      redacted[field] = '[REDACTED]';
    }
  }

  return redacted;
}

// Use in logging
console.log('Perplexity request:', redactPII(requestData));
```

## Data Retention Policy

### Retention Periods
| Data Type | Retention | Reason |
|-----------|-----------|--------|
| API logs | 30 days | Debugging |
| Error logs | 90 days | Root cause analysis |
| Audit logs | 7 years | Compliance |
| PII | Until deletion request | GDPR/CCPA |
