Recital's Bridge prioritizes data security and privacy. All data ingested is encrypted both in transit and at rest. **Recital is ISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliant**.

For enhanced privacy, Recital provides **fine-grained control over Personally Identifiable Information (PII)**. You can configure PII settings to meet your specific compliance needs, choosing to keep, mask, hash, or redact sensitive data fields upon ingestion.
