South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) temporarily suspended new downloads of the DeepSeek AI chatbot due to concerns over its handling of personal data. The suspension applies to downloads from Apple and Google app stores until the company ensures compliance with South Korea’s privacy laws.

DeepSeek, a Chinese AI chatbot, has faced global scrutiny over data security, potential censorship and compliance with national regulations.
The company is working to address concerns, appointing a legal representative in South Korea and updating its policies to meet local requirement.
