Storing Your Personal Information
AES 128-bit symmetric encryption & PCI Compliant
All personal and financial information is encrypted with two levels of AES 128-bit symmetric encryption. In other words, the data is encrypted using keys that are themselves encrypted using other keys, with separate key storage mechanisms for each layer. Circle is fully PCI-DSS compliant as a business.
