EboMike in this question says:
Other apps will be able to access your data.
You can wrap and abstract a lot of the query logic in your content provider, and limit access.
You will be able to lean on the system to allow for things like managed queries.
Remember that you can
control user interactswith your data,for example you can prevent user from modifying data or you can force system to open data with explicit App and so on.
