Abstract

The rapid development of the Internet and mobile technologies has significantly improved data collection and processing capabilities, enabling recommender systems to deeply mine user behavior and deliver more precise personalized services, improving user experience. However, the accumulation of vast amounts of data and the widespread use of recommender systems have also introduced severe privacy leakage risks. Achieving efficient recommendations while protecting privacy has become a key research focus. This study reviewed the evolution of privacy protection methods in recommender systems and identified key risk points in the recommendation process. It analyzed the design principles and application characteristics of existing methods and compared different approaches using evaluation metrics for privacy protection strength and recommendation effectiveness. It summarized the advantages and limitations of these methods, proposed optimization directions, and discussed possible future research paths. These results provide theoretical and practical guidance for the application of privacy protection mechanisms in recommender systems.
