The BCI data that flows locally over the Bluetooth connection is not explicitly encrypted. But you could easily encrypt the data stream yourself using the Brainflow library to read the stream and apply whatever protection you need.
This means that if you can trust the local environment in your nearby space, that sending the BCI data any further (such as via the internet), can have whatever level of protection you deem necessary.
Also note that encryption of BCI data streams is currently a research topic. And not many EEG / BCI / EMG / ECG systems are using such encryption.
