Yes. BuoyForms takes security seriously:

• Encryption in transit — all connections use TLS
• Encryption at rest — submission data is encrypted on disk
• Role-based access controls — limit who can see and manage data
• Audit logging — track who accessed or changed what
• Rate limiting — protect against abuse and brute-force attempts
• Enterprise SSO/SAML — single sign-on for larger teams

Single submissions can be deleted from the row menu. For GDPR/CCPA compliance, use the Redact option which replaces answers with [REDACTED] while preserving the audit trail.
