Privacy and Security for Seek-Chat.com and DeepSeek Services
Review scope: This date covers the service distinctions, primary-source links, and navigation on this hub. Each linked article has its own review date and must be assessed separately.
For official DeepSeek services, review the policy and terms linked by the exact service you use. Our independent explainers cover data residency and GDPR considerations. For what not to send to an AI tool, see section 3 of our privacy policy. API-backed applications, official consumer services, third-party endpoints, and self-hosted deployments have different data flows and must not be treated as interchangeable.
For questions about our independent guides and tests, official DeepSeek links, corrections, and this website’s privacy practices, see the Seek-Chat.com FAQ. For the broader company, product, access, and model-family picture, start with Seek-Chat.com’s independent DeepSeek guide.
Do not submit passwords, verification codes, payment details, API keys, confidential files, regulated personal data, or other sensitive information unless you have verified who operates the service, why the data is required, and how it is processed. Check the domain, use HTTPS, verify app publishers, and avoid login or download links reached through untrusted messages or advertisements.
How This Hub Is Reviewed
We recheck GDPR and residency guidance at least quarterly and sooner after a material change to DeepSeek’s Privacy Policy, Open Platform Terms, technical documentation, or relevant regulator or court action. Review dates move only after primary sources are checked. Historical enforcement dates remain tied to the original event. This hub provides general information, not legal advice or a universal compliance determination.
