The service is free because you pay for it with your data. If you don't like that condition, best use a tool that you host yourself. I figure if I want something to remain relatively secret, it behooves me not to use GA or any other Google products, no?
Call me crazy, but if you run GA, you have to assume they can already get this info if they want it. Given the prevelance of GA and how easy it is to search a DB by exact numeric strings, with a timestamp and an IP, there's a good chance they already have great tools to observe traffic patterns.
