Progressive web app using OSM - Rights

Hello,

I need some extra info about OSM. I would like to create a progressive web app wich will withdraw the info of a specific OSM map (more specifically Poros Island Greece). I understand that this is an open Software but is it possible to use preferrable info and not all the hotels that are added in the platform for example?

Moreover I add a lot of info in this map, how I ensure that nobody else will use all the staff and abuse my own app?

app adds rights

If I understand correctly you want to use OSM data for your map, but keep some of your own data private.

I think that the only way to do this and comply with ShareAlike is to use a Collective Database:

If you publish a set of OSM data as a file or database, with other separate files or databases, this is generally known as a "Collective Database". The ODbL clearly states that Share-Alike does not apply to the other parts of a Collective Database.
