Abstract

To make privacy a first-class citizen in software, we argue for equipping developers with usable tools, as well as providing support from organizations, educators, and regulators. We discuss the challenges with the successful integration of privacy features and propose solutions for stakeholders to help developers perform privacy-related tasks.
