WHAT IS IT? DeepSeek is an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot that allows users to ask questions, generate text, and interact with AI through an app or website. Like other AI tools, it works by analysing user prompts and generating responses based on patterns in large datasets. WHAT WE SAY: Use with caution. 🔞 Exposure to Inappropriate Content DeepSeek is a chatbot that responds to whatever a user asks. This means children could be exposed to unsuitable, misleading, or adult content depending on prompts and the limits of moderation. 🔐 Privacy & Data Collection DeepSeek may collect account details such as email address, phone number, username, and date of birth where provided. It can also collect device and network information like IP address, device identifiers, operating system, language, and usage logs, as well as the content users enter or upload, including chat history, voice input, files, and photos. 🗺️ Location Data The service may collect approximate location information based on a user’s IP address. This is used mainly for security purposes and to respond to location-based requests such as weather or local recommendations. 🌍 Data Stored Outside Your Country According to the privacy policy, personal data collected through DeepSeek may be stored and processed on servers located in the People’s Republic of China. 🧠 AI Training Using User Data User interactions and inputs may be used to help improve and develop DeepSeek’s technology and machine learning models. In some regions, users may have the option to opt out of their data being used for model training or optimisation. 🔗 Sharing Conversations DeepSeek allows users to share conversations using a unique link. If these links are shared publicly, the conversations may be accessed or collected by others online, so users should avoid including personal or sensitive information in chats. 🎯 Accuracy & Misinformation Risk The service notes that AI-generated responses may not always be factually accurate. Users should not rely solely on AI outputs and should verify important information from trusted sources. 🧩 Third-Party Services DeepSeek may use external service providers to support features such as analytics, communications, search functions, and safety monitoring. Links or content from third-party services may also appear within the platform. 💳 Paid Features Some parts of the DeepSeek ecosystem may include paid services or features. Payment and transaction information may be collected when users access these services. 🛡️ Security Considerations DeepSeek states it uses technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, but no internet service can be completely secure. Users should be cautious about sharing personal information when using online platforms. |
🛡️SAFETY TIPS:
🔒 Avoid Sharing Personal Information - Remind children never to share personal details such as full names, addresses, phone numbers, school names, passwords, or financial information when using DeepSeek or any AI chatbot. 🧠 Explain How AI Works - Help children understand that AI tools like DeepSeek generate responses based on patterns in data and may sometimes produce incorrect, biased, or misleading information. Encourage them to check important information with trusted sources. 👀 Supervise Use - If children are using AI tools, consider supervising their use, setting clear boundaries, or limiting access through parental controls, school devices, or broadband filtering where appropriate. 💬 Talk About What They Share Online -Encourage children to think carefully before typing or uploading anything into AI tools. Remind them that conversations may be stored and should not include private or sensitive information about themselves or others. 🔗 Be Careful When Sharing AI Conversations -Explain that sharing AI chats through links or screenshots could make those conversations visible to others online. Children should avoid sharing chats that include personal information. 🗣️ Keep Communication Open - Have regular conversations about online safety, including topics such as misinformation, scams, cyberbullying, grooming, and privacy. Make sure children know they can come to you or another trusted adult if something online makes them uncomfortable.
