The Personal Information Protection Commission said the service was suspended at 6 pm Saturday and will be resumed after “improvements and remedies” are made in line with South Korea’s personal information protection laws, Yonhap news agency reported.
“Those who have already downloaded DeepSeek and are using it, and those using it on the internet, should be careful as there are risks” of an invasion of personal information, Nam Seok, a commission official, told reporters.
It reported the commission said it raised the concerns with DeepSeek and the company complied with its suggestion to temporarily suspend the service until remedies are made.
In response, the company designated a legal representative in South Korea and acknowledged shortcomings in considering local protection laws while also expressing its will to actively cooperate with the commission.
It also vowed to push for legal amendments to strengthen oversight of overseas-based companies in similar instances without compromising the use of AI.
