My concern is that anyone in Google can have some access to my uploaded (and published) source codes in plain text. And, what about data stored in DataStore? Are they protected?
I’m using Python 2.7 runtime and, of course, I can make it ‘undownloadable’ if that helps in some ways.
It’s certainly possible that some employee might be able to look at your code and/or data by trying really hard, breaking their employment contract with Google and possibly becoming a law-breaker. I think that’s highly unlikely, though.
If you’re concern is more around the intellectual property with regards to your code+data, Google’s stance regarding that is explicit:
So at no point of time are they going to look at your code+data and copy anything. Doing so will open the door to your taking them to court immediately.
I think Google takes measures to solve this problem on a much larger scale then what relates to your and my applications on GAE. Compared to the data that it needs to protect from all human eyes, we’re fairly unimportant 😀
