I understood Ben's "you" in the snippet that you quoted to refer to the Wikidata team. Does their Wikimedia employment contract not include the necessary non-disclosure provisions?

I don't know. I'm not a contracts expert, nor have I seen the text of the agreement between WMDE and WMF.

However, I do know that several staff at WMDE have signed nondisclosure agreements and have access to private data like server logs for purposes such as this, as I've been asked to vouch for those requests in the past. :-)
