Say for instance user data for an application that I have stored in a MySQL database on pythonanywhere, just interested in knowing a bit about it.

We don't encrypt user databases. If you want your data encrypted, you'll have to do it yourself.

Quick follow-up - are PostgreSQL databases managed by PythonAnywhere encrypted at rest?

No, they're not.
