How to manage data privacy and encryption in Bubble.io?

Understanding the Basics Data privacy and encryption are crucial aspects of using Bubble.io, a powerful no-code tool. Ensuring that data is managed, stored, and transmitted securely not only helps to comply with regulations but also protects your users' information. Database Structure and Management Plan Your Data Structure

Begin by planning your database structure meticulously to avoid unnecessary data exposure.
Identify each data type you will need and the privacy requirements for each type of data.

Use Private Data Types

Utilize personal data types and avoid keeping unnecessary fields in data types that can be publicly accessible.

Set Up Privacy Rules

Go to 'Data' > 'Privacy' in Bubble.
Create privacy rules for each data type.
Set who can view, modify, delete, and find in searches for each data type. Ensure only the correct user roles have access.

Field-Level Privacy

Consider the sensitivity of each field within your data types.
If you have sensitive information, use conditional fields to show/hide or make fields read-only based on user roles.

Encrypt Sensitive Data

For data at rest, reconsider the necessity of storing highly sensitive information.
Bubble.io doesn't provide built-in field-level encryption, so sensitive information should be encrypted manually before being stored.
Use third-party encryption libraries via API workflows for strong encryption.

Data Transmission

Ensure that SSL is enabled for your Bubble application to secure data transmitted between your users and the server.
Enable ‘Force HTTPS’ to ensure all communications are encrypted.

Backups and Data Export Practices

Regularly back up your data to ensure data integrity and quick recovery in case of data loss.
Follow security standards when exporting data; handle any exported files with caution and ensure they are stored securely.

Compliance

Review and comply with relevant data protection laws and regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).
Implement necessary measures for legal compliance within your Bubble application.

Ongoing Monitoring

Regularly review and update your data privacy and encryption settings in Bubble.
Use Bubble's logs and monitoring tools to keep an eye on unauthorized access attempts and other suspicious activities.
