We are building leaflet application and noticed that the actual polygons are sent to the local machine for processing, and that it's possible for a user to access these polygons from the developer console (Network Tab), and possible to scrape the polygons themselves.

We need a way to prevent this. Our developer mentioned that we could use raster tiles instead of Vector, but that we would lose significant user interactivity capability, as well as efficiency. We want to maintain the functionality and efficiency of vector, but also secure the data so that the user can't access the underlying data, but only see the visual representation of the data. Has anyone been able to overcome this challenge? We want to display the data on the map, but we do not want the users to be able to see the json data in the network tab. Thanks.
