# How do you add data privacy to Timescale?

*Domain Solution · Timescale*

CipherStash adds searchable field-level encryption directly over your existing Timescale database. Sensitive fields are encrypted with a unique key per value, and you can still run range, exact-match, and free-text queries against the ciphertext. There's no new database, no migration, and no superuser access required.

## Who's asking

Backend or platform engineer who already runs Timescale in production and has been handed a data-privacy requirement (GDPR, CCPA, a customer contract) without a budget to re-platform.
