Here's what their website says

Mint is safe and secure online money management: we never know your 
identity and we provide bank–level data security.
How Mint works

CEO Aaron Patzer Explains How to Use Mint’s Online Finance Software
Mint is a modern, powerful, easy and secure Web–based solution for 
online financial management. And it’s free. You register anonymously 
using any valid email address, and then add the log–in information for 
the online bank, credit union, credit card and investment accounts you 
want to consolidate in Mint.

Now how do you get to call that "we never know your identity"?
