Deepseek transmitted South Korean users data without permission

The South Korean Data Protection Agency has recently announced that the Chinese artificial intelligence startup has transferred users’ personal information and perpetrators to the US and US servers without their consent. In February last year, the Dip -Sick was blocked in South Korean app stores and users’ data was transferred before.

According to Reuters, officials in South Korean Data Protection Agency say that the Chinese company transferred users’ data to companies in China and the United States without their consent. These findings were obtained during the research on Deepseek and corrective recommendations were sent to the company.

Previously, Deepsic had expressed his desire to work with South Korean regulatory agencies.

Transfer Deepseek users’ data without their consent

The South Korean Supervisory Authority has concluded that the Chinese company Deepseek has collected personal information and transferred them abroad without their permission. The move came as Deepseek had pledged to cooperate with South Korean officials on security concerns.

The agency points to a particular case in which Deepseek has transferred information about the user -written peripheits as well as the device and network information to a Chinese cloud service platform called Beijing Volcano Engine Technology CO.

Some speculation suggests that Beijing Volcano Engine Technology is a “affiliated company” to the byte, the owner of the Tikktak. Of course, the startup has used the company’s services to improve the security and user experience of its app and has stopped transferring data since April 10.
