If you really don't want root to have access to data then encrypt it.

Root is THE privileged user on the system. root is God and can do anything, read anything, access anything. That is why it is so important to protect root access as carefully as possible, if someone gets root they own the system. You should perform the vast majority of your work using a normal user account and only rarely su over to root for certain things that only root can do. -- Scot L.
