Customer has data <=> customer has access to data.

You are confusing interfacing with a right to execute a given interface 
operation with given operands. An access to execute SELECT on a DB table 
is no different to an ability to view the table in Excel or any other 
program. In both cases authorization happens outside the corresponding 
interface.

Private in Ada has nothing to do with security.
