Right on Kevin. Forget Android security.
Today in server - foolishly people assume firewalls, DB cannot be hacked etc. But this is a fallacy. In Android, you can put it in sqllite, but that data is persisted somewhere in disk unencrypted. AFAIK Android does not encrypt anything on flash(unlike iOS) . So anyone who roots the device gets full access.
