Juicebox Security Basics

Overview

Juicebox provides AI-powered people search and analysis, processing datasets containing professional profiles, contact enrichment data, and query results. Security concerns include API key protection, GDPR/CCPA compliance for candidate and contact data, data retention policy enforcement, and ensuring enriched contact information (emails, phone numbers) is not leaked through logs or unencrypted storage. A compromised API key grants access to people search and enrichment capabilities.

API Key Management

function createJuiceboxClient(): { apiKey: string; baseUrl: string } {
  const apiKey = process.env.JUICEBOX_API_KEY;
  if (!apiKey) {
    throw new Error("Missing JUICEBOX_API_KEY — store in secrets manager, never in code");
  }
  // Juicebox keys access people data — treat as PII-adjacent
  console.log("Juicebox client initialized (key suffix:", apiKey.slice(-4), ")");
  return { apiKey, baseUrl: "https://api.juicebox.ai/v1" };
}
