They legally promise via some form a non-disclosure agreement. A violation means they are liable in the case they are the source of a breach, which can both provide incentives and recourse. Certainly not ironclad, but it is stronger than just a vague "promise."

I think it's only lawyers who take them seriously, or at least pretend to take them seriously. First you have to care enough to go after the NDA breaker. Then you have to have enough evidence to legally demonstrate they broke the NDA. Then you have to pursue legal action. This all costs time and money, and even then there's a good chance you can't actually prove anything. You have to seriously piss off someone (most likely a large corporation) with a lot of time and money for it to matter that you broke an NDA.
