Is Bubble safe? How to secure your Bubble app
Bubble builds full web apps without code — security depends on privacy rules and not trusting the client.
Bubble is a mature no-code platform, but its biggest security pitfall is well known: data exposed because privacy rules aren't configured. Without privacy rules, Bubble's API and page data can be read by anyone. Configure privacy rules on every data type and avoid relying on client-side conditions for security.
Bubble is a mature no-code platform for building full web apps, but it has a well-documented security pitfall: data exposed because privacy rules weren't set. Without privacy rules on a data type, Bubble's automatically generated API and page data can be read by anyone — a common source of Bubble data leaks. Security in Bubble means configuring privacy rules on every data type and never relying on client-side workflows or conditions to protect data.

The most common Bubble security risks
Missing privacy rules
Data types without privacy rules are readable through Bubble's API by anyone. Configure rules on every type.
Client-side security
Hiding elements or using page conditions doesn't protect data — the underlying data is still queryable. Enforce with privacy rules.
Exposed API workflows
Public API workflows without authentication can be called by anyone. Require auth on sensitive endpoints.
