Is SilverCloud privacy good enough?

My employer recently offered access to Silvercloud, an online CBT program which has been recommended here before (e.g. here and here) and it seems it could be useful for my depression and anxiety. However, I'm moderately concerned about privacy, and the privacy policy doesn't ever say something as clear as "we won't let your employer know you are depressed". How worried should I be?

Here is the actual policy specific to my employer, CU Boulder

I don't have a lot of trust in my employer but I think I could really use this service. I don't understand the privacy policy well enough to figure out if the exposure to their data collection is worth the potential gain.

I don't have any specific concerns and know that "good enough" will depend on the individual. Would/are you using it? If no for privacy reasons, how did you make that decision?
