I always thought you should encrypt any really sensitive personal information any way you can, then if you store or send it later hopefully it's not compromised. Even when your storage media is supposedly secure. What's the harm in that, there are easy to use tools to help you along. Some professions, like with lawyers and accountants, you'd think they'd all do this as a matter of course but they don't. Big and small tech too. So why not encrypt all your personal data at the source, the home computer / personal compuer and just call it a day? Can you do that on your platform / tech stack?
