Bittorrent protocol is *not* anonymous. The IP addresses of anyone 
connected via Bittorrent are easy to see in your Bittorrent software, 
unless you also use an anonymising service such as a torrent proxy or 
an anonymising VPN connection. However, Bittorrent Sync encrypts the 
data, so only people with the encryption key can see what data is 
being shared. I believe it would be possible for anyone to join a 
torrent and get a copy of the data being shared, but that copy would 
be useless without the key and they would not know what data they had. 
But all it would take would be for one person to give away the key, 
and then any copies of the data would be able to be decrypted. 
Somehow, I do not think the key would remain secret forever. 
There are Private Trackers for doing such things as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_tracker#Private_trackers
