The final category of Deepseek information reserves the right to collect other resource data. For example, if you create a Deepseek account using Google or Apple Sign-on, it receives information from those companies. Its policies say that advertisers also share information with DeepSeek, and this can include “mobile phone IDs for ads, warned email addresses and Cookie phone numbers and IDs we have for Help to match you and your actions outside the service. “
How Deepseek uses information
A huge amount of data may be transferred from Deepseek to China, but the company still has the power to use. Deepseek’s privacy policy says the company will use many of the usual methods, including its service, implementing its terms and conditions, and progress.
However, the company’s privacy policy shows that it may make the user use it to develop new models. The company will “review, improve and develop services by monitoring the interaction and use of your devices, analyzing how people use it, and by training and improving our technology. “
Deepseek’s privacy also says the company also uses information to “follow it [its] Legal obligations ” – The blanket clause that many companies are included in their policies. Deepseek’s privacy policy says: Data are accessible by its” corporate group “and information with law enforcement agencies, government officials, and so on. Will share if you need to do this.
While all companies have legal obligations, people in China have significant responsibilities. Over the past decade, Chinese officials have approved a set of cyber security and privacy to allow government officials at the request of technical corporations. For example, a 2017 law says that organizations and citizens “must cooperate with national intelligence efforts.”
These rules, along with increasing trade tensions between the United States and China and other geopolitical factors, created security fears about Tiktok. The program can harvest large quantities of data and return it to China, those who argue for the ban on Tiktok, and the program can also be used to pressure Chinese advertising. (Tiktok has rejected US user data to the Chinese government.) Meanwhile, several Deepseek users have already pointed out that this platform does not answer questions about the Tiananmen 1989 massacre, and to some questions Responds to ways that look like advertising.
Compared to users on a social media platform such as Tiktok, people who send a message with a production AI system are actively involved and content can feel more personal, Wilmson says. In short, any effect can be larger. “The dangers of changing sub -content, guiding the conversation, in the interaction of this logic, should be more concerned, not less,” he says. Controls, censorship rules, and intentions/characters are largely left without pressure, and are very popular in its early stages. “
Oljannik, from King London College, says that while the Tiktok ban was a particular situation, US lawmakers or other countries can re -act with a similar assumption. “We cannot reject that 2025 will expand: direct action against artificial intelligence companies,” says Uljannik. “Of course, data collection may be re -introduced as a reason.”
