South Korea's data protection authority has accused AI start-up DeepSeek of transferring user information and prompts without consent.
The Personal Information Protection Commission stated that user consent was not obtained by DeepSeek when transferring personal information to several companies in China and the United States.
DeepSeek was temporarily suspended from South Korea's app stores in February due to privacy concerns.
Several countries, including the US, Italy, Taiwan, and Australia have banned DeepSeek from government devices over national security concerns.
