Stop people using data loader to extract info

Hi there everyone, we recently took a new client on who used salesforce and have moved onto our org. We have an issue in that one of their staff members had already downloaded the data loader and is now able to extract data from our system using the data loader. Other than diverting his email to me and resetting his security token im not sure how to stop this. Help please.

he is a user in my org and is a standard salesforce user.

 

I think if I disable the API access right on his profile page that should do it? I assume this will safeguard against anyone using anyother tools to extract data?
