DESCRIPTION:We analyse Stack Overflow (SO) to understand challenges and co
 nfusions developers face while dealing with privacy-related topics. We app
 ly topic modelling techniques to 1\,733 privacy-related questions to ident
 ify topics and then qualitatively analyse a random sample of 315 privacy-r
 elated questions. Identified topics include privacy policies\, privacy con
 cerns\, access control\, and version changes. Results show that developers
  do ask SO for support on privacy-related issues. We also find that platfo
 rms such as Apple and Google are defining privacy requirements for develop
 ers by specifying what “sensitive” in-formation is and what types of i
 nformation developers need to communicate to users (e.g. privacy policies)
 . We also examine the accepted answers in our sample and find that 28% of 
 them link to official documentation and more than half are answered by SO 
 users without references to any external resources.\n\nhttps://groups.inf.
