Abstract
Privacy and Security of data in cloud database is a vital issue as it enables the storage, management
and sharing of complex data in a secure platform. Cloud database, a technology that clings onto Cloud
Computing paradigm, has privacy and security challenges such as lack of awareness and hegemony of
place of data stored, transaction log of data, malicious act, amongst others. Also, ethical issue in the
cloud surrounds trust issues from tenants, as the tenants find it difficult outsourcing critical
information to a cloud service provider without the interference of a third party. This and many more
issues were considered in this paper. This paper, therefore, discussed security, privacy and ethical
concerns associated with cloud database by reviewing variety of literatures that discussed about these
issues. Furthermore, the paper proposed a conceptual framework for mitigating the security and
privacy issues inherent in the cloud database as a way of improving the services of the cloud service
providers when deployed.
