Customers must implement all necessary **administrative, physical, and technical safeguards** on the **client-side devices** (mobile, web app). This includes device access controls, encryption of the client-side PowerSync SQLite database (see [client-side encryption](/client-sdks/advanced/data-encryption#at-rest-encryption)), and secure disposal of data when a user or device is de-provisioned. To clear the whole database, see the `disconnectAndClear` method across various SDKs ([JavaScript example](https://powersync-ja.github.io/powersync-js/common/interfaces/CommonPowerSyncDatabase#disconnectandclear)). If using Raw Tables, be sure to set a `clear` statement for each table containing ePHI, as specified in [Deleting Data and Raw Tables](/client-sdks/advanced/raw-tables#deleting-data-and-raw-tables)
