I am in the early development stages of working with firebase, and have noticed when sending messages in my test app, I am able to see the private data (such as messages, weight, addresses and so on) of a user. Is this normal for a data base? is this just because I am in the testing phase? (I am sorry this is a very newbie question.)
I would like to point out that this is obviously hidden in my firebase account, and this data is hidden from the public eye.
It’s normal to see this data during development, in a production environment, you should encrypt sensitive information (at the application level, before storing it in Firebase) and use Firebase security rules to ensure that only authorized users can access it.
