There are two main protections from Cryptonote: Untraceability ( provided by Ring Signatures ) and Unlinkability ( provided by Stealth addresses ).
Detailed information in the Cryptonote website.
Monero went further following researchers recommendation and added a forced minimum of 2 mixing for a transaction ( to be bumped to 4 ) and is going to implement Confidential Transactions in the near future further obfuscating the already hard to guess exact amount of coins in a determined transaction.
