DeepSeek gets first ‘complaint letter’: ‘The data of millions of Italians is at risk’

DeepSeek, the Chinese AI startup has come under scrutiny as Euroconsumers, a coalition of European consumer groups, has teamed up with the Italian Data Protection Authority (DPA) to file a complaint regarding how DeepSeek handles personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This marks one of the first major actions from a watchdog since DeepSeek gained significant attention in recent days.

The Italian DPA has written to DeepSeek, requesting more information on the matter.
