[Feature Request] <Brief description>

🚀 Feature Request

The data returned from calling the API should match the same privacy and masking policies applied to it as it does if the query is performed on the app or on the website.

🔍 Problem Statement

The data returned from API/curl today is masked for sensitive information such as name, email, some URL's (LinkedIn), etc. The same query on the web or app returns unmasked data. This presents a problem for automating tasks via API which it's suppose to solve.

💡 Proposed Solution

Implement the same masking policy for both web and app and API data returned.

📌 API Impact

• Which API component is affected? Returned data from all API endpoints as far as I can tell
• Is this related to a specific model? All models
• Would this require new API parameters or changes to existing ones? hopefully not

🔄 Alternatives Considered

Alternative is to scrape the perplexity web interface and look for returned data that is unmasked. It's not ideal and counter intuitive to using API.
