Most user actions will concern retrieving information from the database. This information resides
in main memory, so no disc access has to be given to the user. Only requests for data based on
database item identifiers is accepted, therefore governing that no access is given to any information
outside of the database. If you want to know what information is accessible please inspect a database
by using an XML editor or text editor. In any case, no personal information is given.
Accessing the database should therefore not cause a direct security breach. Users should take notice
that the following data is exposed: the directory layout as far as the files added to the database
is concerned and the IP address(es) of the user's computer. This information can be considered of
limited value to anyone trying to access your computer.
