Security of data

[Jeff Portwine]

Perhaps a simpler way would be to make anybody accessing the data sign 
non-disclosure agreements.   I'm no legal expert but since there isn't 
really any way to guarentee 100% that people aren't keeping data they are 
viewing, you can at least make them legally bound to not allow that data to 
be used in any way outside of the company...

Just a thought.
