Google Analytics protects the confidentiality of Google Analytics data in several ways:
Google Analytics data may not be shared without customer consent, except under certain limited circumstances, such as when required by law.
Security-dedicated engineering teams at Google guard against external threats to data. Internal access to data (e.g., by employees) is regulated and subject to the Employee Access Controls and Procedures.

For their definition of "confidential", which they can change at any time.
> certain limited circumstances
If they only intended the "required by law" example, they wouldn't use such a broad - and completely undefined - set of circumstances.
> guard against external threats
Google may have good security practices now, but an continually growing collection of highly-revealing tracking data is a very tempting target for many businesses, governments, etc. If Google (or anybody else) wants to claim that they are protecting your data, they should indemnify the subjects of their spying against any damages those caused by those "external threats".
