💨 Abstract

The Italian data protection authority, Garante, has ordered Chinese AI startup DeepSeek to block its chatbot in Italy due to concerns over its privacy policy. DeepSeek failed to address questions about personal data collection, storage, and legal basis, with the information provided to Garante deemed insufficient. The order aims to protect Italian users' data. DeepSeek has removed its AI assistant from Italian app stores and disputes the need for local regulation or cooperation with the Garante.
