Encryption and Password Management
Does Rocketbook encrypt customer data?
When a user registers an account, data is sent to Rocketbook servers through API calls secured over HTTPS. Once received, the data is stored in MongoDB Atlas and the Google Cloud Platform.
Rocketbook also collects customer data for analytics purposes, which is transferred through HTTPS to Mixpanel and the Google Cloud Platform. For more information about Mixpanel, please view their security overview.
MongoDB Atlas has built-in encryption at rest for disks by default. For more information, please see information about their data encryption.
The Google Cloud Platform encrypts customer data stored at rest by default. For more information, please see information about their data encryption.
