In theory, an SQLite database created by your application will be visible from your application, but not from outside the application -- see Using Databases.

Still, I suppose that, one way or another, someone could retrieve that database (using some FileExplorer on a rooted device, or using ADB) -- so, it might be wise to at least encrypt the sensitive data.
