The Internet of Things (IoT) has become deeply embedded in modern society, enabling applications across smart homes, healthcare, industrial automation, and environmental monitoring. However, as billions of interconnected devices continuously collect and exchange sensitive data, privacy and security concerns have escalated. This survey systematically reviews the state-of-the-art privacy-preserving techniques in IoT systems, emphasizing approaches that protect user data during collection, transmission, and storage. Peer-reviewed studies from 2016 to 2025 and technical reports were analyzed to examine applied mechanisms, datasets, and analytical models. Our analysis shows that blockchain and federated learning are the most prevalent decentralized privacy-preserving methods, while homomorphic encryption and differential privacy have recently gained traction for lightweight and edge-based IoT implementations. Despite these advancements, challenges persist, including computational overhead, limited scalability, and real-time performance constraints in resource-constrained devices.

We are living in the era of IoT systems where this technology supports our daily life in various aspects, whether it is our daily used Apple watches, our smart home systems, or our laptops. The goal is to make our everyday activities more convenient and more accessible by means of connectivity anytime, anywhere. The growth of IoT-based systems booms in the post-2020s with advanced network technologies like 5G and Edge Computing. The IoT-based systems are comparatively cost-effective and convenient to apply, especially in remote operations where manual intervention is impossible. Like other technologies, IoT applications also come with flaws and concerns. One of the main severe concerns nowadays is privacy and security issues related to IoT systems. Knowingly or unknowingly, we are being monitored by smart sensors or edge devices almost every moment, and our personal and professional sensitive information is being exposed to untrusted third parties like Google or Amazon. This is becoming a serious concern with the rapid expansion of IoT-based systems. In this survey paper, we have tried to categorically list and present the state-of-the-art techniques for privacy preservation in IoT-based systems in various application fields.
