Their relevance is increasing, and privacy is being considered a Troy horse in software developments. In fact, privacy is a part of software architectural decisions, and they must be considered as a technical debt. The contributions of this paper are the following: a privacy debt definition with a principal and an interest, privacy-related activities to be considered within the ISO/IEC 29110 basic profile, and the use of the net present value within this context. All these contributions help us to integrate privacy debt and VSE's software developments.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessjournal article10.1002/smr.2437ISO/IEC 29110privacysecuritytechnical debtISO/IEC 29110privacysecuritytechnical debtSoftwarehttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85125773017&partnerID=8YFLogxK
