I'm sorry for the way we presented this information. We definitely should have explained these changes more clearly, because they do NOT mean that admins can browse your 1-1 chats. Our blog has been updated with a better explanation: http://blog.hipchat.com/2014/04/25/hey-were-changing-our-ter...
If you still have questions or concerns, feel free to email me directly (address in profile here) and I can answer them or put you in touch with someone who can.

If you've signed a policy with your employer giving them access to data in the services they pay for, we will have access to provide them, just like they can with the email account they provide you (if they do). They won't be casually browsing your chats, as that is not a feature we provide.
