However, rapid technological changes, the rapid growth of the internet and electronic commerce, and the development of more sophisticated methods of collecting, analyzing, and using personal information have made privacy a major public and government issues. The field of data mining is gaining significance recognition to the availability of large amounts of data, easily collected and stored via computer systems.  Recently, the large amount of data, gathered from various channels, contains much personal information. When personal and sensitive data are published and/or analyzed, one important question to take into account is whether the analysis violates the privacy of individuals whose data is referred to. The importance of information that can be used to increase revenue cuts costs or both. Data mining software is one of a number of analytical tools for analyzing data. It allows users to analyze data privacy is growing constantly. For this reason, many research works have focused on privacy-preserving data mining, proposing novel techniques that allow extracting knowledge while trying to protect the privacy of users. Some of these approaches aim at individual privacy while others aim at corporate privacy [1].  </p> ER -
