DeepSeek, a popular Chinese AI assistant, has been temporarily removed from South Korean app stores since February 15 due to compliance issues with local data protection laws. The Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) stated that downloads could resume once the company aligns with these regulations. The PIPC discovered that DeepSeek was transferring data from Korean users to ByteDance and recommended caution for users entering personal information.
