The Italian Data Protection Authority has initiated proceedings against DeepSeek, an AI company, due to concerns about potential risks to the personal data of millions of Italians. The Authority has requested information on the personal data collected by DeepSeek, the sources and purposes of this data, the legal basis for its processing, and whether it is stored on servers in China. Additionally, the inquiry seeks clarification on the data used to train DeepSeek's AI system and the methods of informing users about their data processing practices. DeepSeek has a 20-day deadline to comply, aligning with the Authority's ongoing focus on safeguarding data privacy, as emphasised on "Data Protection Day".
