The jury is still a part of the sophisticated plan for the Chinese AI New Sea, or whether the hedge fund parent company is part of a sophisticated plan for short NVIDIA and other technical stocks. It is now catching the attention of the data protection watchers about what DeepSeek and its large language model will be (probably?).
Since DeepSeek has recently reached a positive virus, the first main movement in one of those watchers is the European Consumer Group Union Euroconsumers, with the Italian data protection authorities, filed complaints about how to handle personal data with DeepSeek. I did it. Relationship with GDPR, a European data protection framework.
Italian DPA confirmed that it was written to Deepseek as an information request today. It is pointed out that “Italy Rischio I dati di di di persone”. (“Millions of Italian data are in danger”) Deepseek should respond for 20 days.
One of the main details of the noticeable DeepSeek is that the service is created and operated in China. According to the privacy policy, this includes information and data collected by DeepSeek and collected by the store, which is also stored in the home country.
Deepseek also pointed out that when it delivers data in countries where Deepseek is used in the policy, it is simply pointed out that “according to the requirements of applicable data protection laws.”
However, Euroconsumers, an organization that filed a successful event for Grok last year, successfully wants more details on how to use data to train AI.
Italian DPA said it wants to know any purpose, including Hangzhou Deepseek artificial intelligence and personal data that deals with the Beijing Deepseek AI, from any personal data, some sources, and information used to train the AI system. The foundation is for processing. We also want more details about China’s server.
In addition, “If personal data is collected through web scraping activities,” “Registered users and users who are not registered in the service want to know how to be processed or receive information. Their data. ”
News Outlet MLEX also pointed out that Euroceek also emphasized that Deepseek has no details on how to protect or limit the minors of the service, from age verification to how to process minors’ data.
(Deepseek’s age policy is not for users under 18 years of age, but for people aged 14 and 18 years, these young users are suggested to read through personal information protection policy.)
Consumer groups and Italian watchers are the first movements for DeepSeek. Subsequent measures are not fast, but may not be the end.
Earlier today, Deepseek was a major topic at the European Commission’s press conference. Thomas Regnier, spokesman for Tech Sovereignty, asked if there is a concern about Deepseek in Europe. But the main message is: I don’t say anything about the investigation.
REGNIER said, “The services provided in Europe will respect our rules.
He did not say whether Deepseek respected the rules in the EU’s estimation. Then, in China, the app’s censorship on politically sensitive topics responded to the media’s press rules in Europe and whether the investigation was drawn. REGNIER said, “This is a very early stage and we are not talking about the investigation yet. “Our framework is firm enough to solve potential problems if there is potential problem here.”
We contacted DEEPSEEK on Italian DPA complaints and we will update this post if more information is provided.
