DeepSeek, a Chinese AI service, has resumed availability in South Korean app stores following a two-month suspension due to data protection concerns.

South Korea's Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) halted downloads in February after it was discovered that DeepSeek transferred user data without permission when the site first launched in January, according to Reuters.

DeepSeek is now available for download on platforms such as the Apple App Store and Google Play after being updated with its privacy policy. The company guarantees compliance with South Korean data privacy rules and allows customers to opt out of sharing personal information to entities in China and the United States.

The app's return follows DeepSeek's voluntary adjustments, which partially addressed the PIPC's recommendations, Reuters reported.
