Data privacy and regulatory compliance dictate that we treat user data with the highest level of cryptographic security. While TLS 1.3 secures data in transit across our network, we have now fully enabled AES-256 encryption at rest for our entire database storage volume. Furthermore, highly sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is encrypted at the application level before it even touches the database, utilizing a secure Key Management Service (KMS) with automatic key rotation. If a physical drive were ever compromised, the data would remain mathematically unreadable ciphertext.
