# Does MessageBird encrypt the data? All personal data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and, to the extent relevant from a security standpoint, treated as if it were classified as sensitive data. GCP stores encrypted data by default. We have also taken further measures by implementing record-level encryption of sensitive and customer data. Information is always transmitted over TLS with up-to-date encryption methodologies by default. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
