Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) — Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd.
The PIPC announced preliminary results of its status examination into DeepSeek, issuing corrective recommendations for issues including privacy policies only in Chinese and English, unauthorized data transfers to China and the U.S. without user consent, and AI model training without user consent. Recommendations included creating a Korean privacy policy, ceasing unnecessary data transfers, introducing opt-out options for AI training data, implementing age verification, and destroying unlawfully transferred data.
Key takeaway — how to prevent this
Substantiate every AI marketing claim and don't sell AI built to deceive. Deceptive 'AI-powered' claims and AI tools designed for fraud are direct FTC targets.
Inclusion does not imply wrongdoing or liability. Status reflects the latest information we have — always check the official source for current status.
