DeepSeek Chat: where is customer data stored and processed?
DeepSeek Chat has its headquarters in China, and its privacy policy states that personal data is collected, processed and stored directly in China, including for users in the EEA. The kundegruppe is not stated, so it is not clear whether the service is aimed at private individuals or businesses. Logs, crash reports and performance data are described as personal data processed in China, but no retention period is given; usage analytics are also indicated to be handled in China, though analytics providers are named without location. User input and output for DeepSeek's own models are processed in China, according to the privacy policy. The data processing agreement was not found on the pages read, and the agreement itself has not been read.
