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.

There is a similar question already answered here

Basically, you can use System.Data.Sqlite wrapper, which includes encryption

SQLite is not itself encrypted. If you store text in a SQLite database, you should assume anyone with access to the device has access to the text.
