If you really are only reading the data, I'd even venture to say
that your users may simply be blaming your app for lost data because
they know it "touches" their address book. This happens more often
than you'd think. If it's very infrequent, certainly ask for steps to
reproduce and test thoroughly for this bug (due diligence) but it may
be safe to consider the user really is only guessing and probably
messed things up on their own.
This has happened to me. :-) One of my apps opens a graphics file
for viewing but doesn't even *contain* any code to allow writing (and
doesn't even remember where the file came from on the file system
after it's initially been loaded) and one user claimed my app was
"eating" her image files. It later turned out to be a completely
unrelated application. Don't ask. :-)
Of course this has nothing to do with Cocoa, but I thought I'd
throw it out there. It's entirely possible. Either way, more
information about your code (or possibly some of the code itself)
would definitely be needed to give you more than a guess.

I'm working on a small project importing data from the address book.
The problem is, that some users reported, that my app would corrupt
their
address (delete addresses, change data, etc. )
But I have no clue how that is possible as my app only uses functions
for
accessing data from the address book, but none for changing anything.
What could have caused these Problems? Did anyone have similar
problems before?
I use the AB APIs a lot, and have never had a problem like that. And
you don't really give enough info for us to help you more. Have you
tried checking your app for memory smashers? Maybe try Malloc Debug?
