If you are asking the data in a Snowflake Table, it's encrypted using AES 256 bit:

https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/security-encryption.html#encryption-key-management

All Snowflake customer data is encrypted by default using the latest security standards and best practices. Snowflake uses strong AES 256-bit encryption with a hierarchical key model rooted in a hardware security module.

For internal stages, the encryption can be configured to use 256-bit encryption:
