Abstract

An information retrieving apparatus has a retrieving section, a security judging section and an input/display section. The retrieving section retrieves whether or not the security level of an inquirer is registered to a security DB section with respect to a retrieving request of retrieved data. When this security level of the inquirer is registered, the retrieving section retrieves retrieved data and a security level of the retrieved data stored to a data memory section. The security judging section judges whether the security level of the inquirer and the security level of the retrieved data are in conformity with each other or not. The input/display section displays the retrieving request, an inquirer's name, etc. when no security level of the inquirer is registered to the security DB section with respect to the retrieving request of desirable retrieved data. The input/display section can additionally store the security level of the inquirer to the security DB section.
