Nowadays, data from various sources are gathered and stored in databases. The collection of the data does not give a significant impact unless the database owner conducts certain data analysis such as using data mining techniques to the databases. Presently, the development of data mining techniques and algorithms provides significant benefits for the information extraction process in terms of the quality, accuracy, and precision results. Realizing the fact that performing data mining tasks using some available data mining algorithms may disclose sensitive information of data subject in the databases, an action to protect privacy should be taken into account by the data owner. Therefore, privacy preserving data mining (PPDM) is becoming an emerging field of study in the data mining research group. The main purpose of PPDM is to investigate the side effects of data mining methods that originate from the penetration into the privacy of individuals and organizations. In addition, it guarantees that the data miners cannot reveal any personal sensitive information contained in a database, while at the same time data utility of a sanitized database does not significantly differ from that of the original one. In this paper, we present a wide view of current PPDM techniques by classifying them based on their taxonomy techniques to differentiate the characteristics of each approach. The review of the PPDM methods is described comprehensively to provide a profound understanding of the methods along with advantages, challenges, and future development for researchers and practitioners.
