\n Euronews Next examines the data privacy questions behind popular Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) company DeepSeek.
\n ADVERTISEMENTData authorities across Europe are investigating the data policy collection of DeepSeek, the Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) company taking the technology sector by storm.\u00a0Information requests launched inItaly, Ireland,Belgium, the Netherlands, and France want to know whether the AI company\u2019s collection of information breaches Europe\u2019s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by transferring personal data to China.These concerns have already led to the app\u2019s blocking in Italy while authorities there investigate what data is collected, for what purpose, where it\u2019s being stored, and whether it has been used to train its latest AI model.\u00a0\u00a0The Chinese start-up launched its chatbot R1 in January, claiming the model is cheaper to operate and uses less energy than OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT.\u00a0\u00a0So, why is it causing Europe’s data authorities so much angst?What information does the app record?DeepSeek says in its terms of use that it collects three types of information from users: directly provided data like names and email addresses, automatically collected information like an IP address, and some from other sources such as Apple or Google logins.\u00a0The agreement states that some of that information is collected through the direct monitoring of interactions and usage across devices, and that the app decides when it will need to protect the safety and well-being of its community.That information can be stored “for as long as possible,” and used for various purposes.Any of the information provided can be sent to third parties, such as advertisers, analytics companies, law enforcement, public authorities, and copyright holders.\u00a0This is not the only app to record these types of data; OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic\u2019s Claude do as well. Both apps, like DeepSeek, have faced criticism for their data privacy policies in the EU.\u00a0GDPR gives Europeans some control over their data, like the right to erase or stop its processing.\u00a0According to David Erdos, co-director of the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law at the University of Cambridge, DeepSeek has not guaranteed those rights would be met for EU app users.\u00a0“We don\u2019t have any provision of essentially equivalent or adequate data protection,” Erdos said.\u00a0Where is the information stored?Much of the concern about the app stems from the fact that DeepSeek stores information on Chinese servers.\u00a0DeepSeek says it maintains “commercially reasonable technical, administrative and physical security measures,” to protect the data hosted in China and, when necessary, transfers user data by local laws.\u00a0ADVERTISEMENT\u201cThere isn\u2019t even\u2026 a legal provision given to why the data is fine to be stored in China and leaving the EU, it\u2019s just asserted that that is where the data is,\u201d Erdos said. \u201cThat itself would be a serious violation of the law\u201d.\u00a0A 2022 legal study paper from the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) found that the basis for Chinese privacy law is that “community stability should prevail over the needs of individual persons”.\u00a0The EDPB continued that “numerous exceptions” to personal data protection are made for the sake of national security or criminal investigations. The EDPB also doesn’t know whether the data of foreign citizens is treated in the same way.\u00a0According to a 2024 cybercrime index, China is also one of the world\u2019s most prone to cyber security attacks.\u00a0ADVERTISEMENTA recent analysis from technology company Cisco found that DeepSeek was unable to block any jailbreak cybersecurity attacks, unlike other models that can at least partially block these attacks.\u00a0“DeepSeek R1 lacks robust guardrails, making it highly susceptible to algorithmic jailbreaking and potential misuse,” their analysis reads.\u00a0If users still want to use the app, Erdos said they should be cautious of disclosing any personal information, including anything “that would be of an intimate nature”.\u00a0“People have got to make their judgement as to whether they\u2019re engaging with the service [while] it isn\u2019t necessarily giving people the rights which they would expect,” Erdos said.\u00a0ADVERTISEMENTEuronews Next reached out to DeepSeek for a reaction to the data privacy investigations and for an explanation of how it holds onto data but did not receive an immediate reply.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
