South Korea: Deep Seck has been transferred user data without their consent

The South Korea Data Protection Authority said on Thursday that the Chinese Dyb CIS emerging for artificial intelligence transmitted data for users and orders (Broms) without permission when the service was still available to download in the country application market.

Deep Seck has not yet answered a request for a comment.

The Personal Data Protection Committee said in a statement that Hangzhou Depp Sick AI did not obtain the approval of users as it transmits their personal data to a number of companies in China and the United States at the time of the launch of its application in South Korea last January.

In February, the South Korea Data Protection Authority stopped the new download operations of the Deep Seick application in the country after it said that the company had recognized that it had not taken into account some of the authority’s rules related to the protection of personal data.

The Authority added today, Thursday, that the Deep Seck application also sent content in the form of orders and requests for artificial intelligence to a company called (Volcano Ingology), based in Beijing, accompanied by information from the application on devices and networks as well.

Deep Seck later told the authority that the decision to send this information to Volcano was aimed at improving user experience and that it prevented the transfer of content related to orders and requests for artificial intelligence starting from April 10.

The commission said it decided to issue a modified guidance to correct the matter to Dib Sick to delete the content of artificial intelligence orders immediately that she moved to Volcano Ingan and set legal rules for transferring information and personal data abroad.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said today, Thursday, in reference to the statement issued by the authority in South Korea that the Chinese government has not and will not ask companies to collect and store data illegally.
