On Monday ( Apr 28 ), Chinese artificial intelligence service DeepSeek was made available again on South Korean app stores for the first time in about two months after downloads were suspended as a result of authorities ‘ cited of data protection breaches.
When DeepSeek first launched in South Korea in January, the country’s Personal Information Protection Commission ( PIP ) announced on Thursday that it had authorized the transfer of user data and prompts.
The app’s access was suspended in February after the concerns over private data security were raised, but the company was still accessible for download on South Korea’s software industry, including through Apple’s App Store and Google Play Store.
In a modified privacy policy statement that was applied to the game, DeepSeek stated that” we process your personal info in conformity with the Personal Information Protection Act of Korea.”
