We also protect your information with our privacy policy. And your visitors' information is secure, too - your reports don't include identifiable information about your site's users.
You also have control over who can log in to your account, and who can view your reports. You can easily add or remove users, and customize their access to your data. Please read How do I restrict a user's access to certain domains or reports? for more information about controlling access to your account.
I can't really guarantee that Google isn't going to use this data for anything nefarious, but I can't figure out what they would be able to do with it.
I kinda jumped on the shiny new thing without really thinking about it too much. Google just released this today and I wanted to see what it looked like.
Anyway check out http://www.google.com/analytics to see what we're working on.
//edit: Please post any questions or concerns here and I'll try to address them. Maybe this was a bad idea? I'm not convinced either way. The graphs and charts are nice, but if there are overwhelming privacy concerns I'll see what I can do.
