The spat rival Deepsak may be in deep trouble for the data protection of the Commissioner of Berlin in the European Union, which Google and Apple demanded to remove the AI app from their stores.
On 27 June, Berlin Commissioner, Make Comp announced for data protection and freedom of information A press release After finding it in a violation of the European Union’s General Data Safety Regulation (GDPR), his office is calling Google and Apple to remove the Deepsek app.
The step was already requested to remove its app in Germany, already after Kemp, or replaced its practices for the protection of German users’ data, which failed to deepsek.
KAMP explained in a press release: “The transfer of user data by Deepsek is illegal for China. Deepsek is not able to provide my office with evidence that the data of German users has been preserved at a level equivalent to the European Union in China. The Chinese authorities have widespread access to personal data organized by Chinese companies.”
“In addition, Deepsek users in China do not have implemented rights and effective legal measures as a guarantee in the European Union. So I have informed Google and Apple, as operators of the largest app platforms of the violation, and expect an early review of a blocked.”
This does not mean that the Deepsek app is going to disappear immediately from the store or Google Play Store. Google and Apple need to analyze the request of Kamp and decide how they are going to handle the situation. If the app is eventually removed, it can only be blocked in Germany or the European Union, but possibly not affecting users in other parts of the world.
Nevertheless, millions of people can search themselves a new favorite AI app, considering Deepsek, more than 50 million downloads on Google Play Store by July 2025.
Regardless, some users may want to remove the app anyway in the light of this news. As stated in the press release of Comp, “According to its own website, (Deepsek) processes the wide personal data of users, including all lessons, chat history and files uploaded, as well as information about locations, used equipment and network.”
The fact is that the office of the complex is doubled on its efforts to remove the Deepsack in Germany, or to provide data protection to the European Union standards, perhaps those users who are concerned about their data secrecy should worry about. Then, the same can be said for most AI and social media apps – for example, Tekkachchan The AI app of the meta is called “a privacy disaster”.
