Greetings from the South of Canada.
So I'm a user and not a programmer by any stretch. The open source
license for QGIS covers the Software. Your data is your data and no one
else's unless you physically share it. It's not any less safe than
Arcpro. The data it builds is compatible with ESRI products (it can
build and edit ESRI file Based Geodatabases (which I'm guessing may be a
requirement)). It's my daily driver....well - my only driver for Desktop
GIS (I say that and PostGIS will make you feel things deep down in your
soul).
Anyway - I know that's a short answer but - Enjoy your QGIS'ing. Make
Data. Enjoy.

Hello,
I work at the Department of National Defense for the Canadian
government and had some questions regarding QGIS.
Firstly, I'm working on a project to determine the seismic risk and
vulnerability of all the department's buildings different Canadian
Provinces. An important part of the project will be to create a
geodatabase containing crucial information about each building. After,
I plan to create a layer that will show the location of these
buildings on a map.
Now, a large portion of the information regarding the buildings and
their locations is confidential, and so I'm wondering if the
geodatabase and layer that I plan to create will be safe and
protected, or if other users will have access to them since QGIS is
free and open source?
At first, I was planning to work with ArcGIS Pro but I'm currently
waiting for a license. When or if it comes through, I'll stick with
ArcGIS but for now QGIS seems to be the best alternative.
If QGIS is not safe, are there other safe and similar softwares you
can recommend?
Thanks,
Simon
