Watch: Data retention
Start here. These are the highest-risk verified clauses AIRIN found in the platform's own policy text.
The retention clause is open-ended ('certain data') and justified by a broad 'laws and regulations' carve-out without specifying applicable jurisdictions, duration, or data types. This limits users' ability to exercise deletion/erasure rights effectively.
The exclusive venue is a Chinese court at DeepSeek's registered location (Hangzhou). Non-Chinese users face significant practical barriers — cost, language, travel, and procedural unfamiliarity — to asserting legal rights. No arbitration, class action, or alternative dispute resolution mechanism is offered.
Choice-of-law clause selects mainland Chinese law for all disputes. For users outside China, this means their local consumer/data protection laws may not apply, and enforcing rights could require engaging with an unfamiliar legal system. This is a significant risk for EU, US, and other non-Chinese users.

Continuation of segment 72, completing the intellectual property and competition restriction by specifying the use of algorithms, data, and platforms to implement monopolistic or unfair competition behaviors as prohibited conduct.
" rights, trade secrets, and other violations of business ethics, or using algorithms, data, platforms, etc., to implement monopolistic and unfair competition behaviors."
This segment continues the disclaimer that use of the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or free from error.
" UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE OR FREE FROM ERROR;"
This segment establishes mutual exclusion of incidental, consequential, punitive, special, or indirect damages except for intentional or grossly negligent conduct, and caps DeepSeek's aggregate liability at the greater of fees paid or another threshold, constituting a core liability limitation.
" 8.4 Unless otherwise agreed, either DeepSeek or you shall not be liable for the other’s incidental, consequential, punitive, special, or indirect losses or damages, including but not limited to the loss of profits or goodwill, unless su..."
The liability cap of $100 is extremely low and practically eliminates meaningful recovery for free-tier users. The mutual exclusion of consequential damages limits both parties, but DeepSeek as the service provider benefits disproportionately from this limitation.
"Unless otherwise agreed, either DeepSeek or you shall not be liable for the other’s incidental, consequential, punitive, special, or indirect losses or damages, including but not limited to the loss of profits or goodwill, unless such lo..."
Clause A strictly prohibits using outputs as a basis for action or professional advice, while Clause B outlines conditions and liabilities for using outputs for purposes with legal or material impact, implicitly allowing such use.
" Outputs may contain errors or omissions and are for your reference only. You should NOT treat any Outputs as professional advice. In particular, when using this Service to consult on medical, legal, financial, and other professional issues, please note that the Output does not constitute any advice or commitment, nor does it represent opinions in any professional field. If you require related professional services, you should consult professionals and make decisions under their guidance. The Output of our Services shall not form the basis for your further actions or omissions. You are solely and independently responsible for any decisions or actions you take based on any Outputs, as well as for any consequences that follow."
" 5.4 Given that the Outputs may contain incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate content, if you use the Outputs for any purpose that could have a legal or material impact on natural persons, such as making credit, educational, employment, housing, insurance, legal, medical, or other important decisions about them, such Outputs shall undergo human reviews; and you shall be solely and independently liable for the corresponding liabilities."
Within one documentClause A states that data use for service improvement requires strict de-identification and offers an opt-out, while Clause B describes using various types of personal data for improvement and training, including monitoring, based on legitimate interests, without mentioning de-identification or an opt-out.
"Under the premise of secure encryption technology processing, strict de-identification rendering, and irreversibility to identify specific individuals, we may, to a minimal extent, use Inputs and Outputs to provide, maintain, operate, develop or improve the Services or the underlying technologies supporting the Services. If you refuse to allow us to process the data in the manner described above, you can opt out by turning off "Improve the model for everyone""

"Under the premise of secure encryption technology processing, strict de-identification rendering, and irreversibility to identify specific individuals, we may, to a minimal extent, use Inputs and Outputs to provide, maintain, operate, develop or improve the Services or the underlying technologies supporting the Services. If you refuse to allow us to process the data in the manner described above, you can opt out by turning off "Improve the model for everyone""
Default training use applies unless users actively opt out. The 'minimal extent' and de-identification conditions are qualitatively described but not defined with measurable standards, leaving risk ambiguous. Opt-out mechanism exists but requires affirmative user action.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" 4.3 Under the premise of secure encryption technology processing, strict de-identification rendering, and irreversibility to identify specific individuals, we may, to a minimal extent, use Inputs and Outputs to provide, maintain, operate, develop or improve the Services or the underlying technologies supporting the Services. If you refuse to allow us to process the data in the manner described above, you can opt out by turning off "Improve the model for everyone"."
This segment permits DeepSeek to use Inputs and Outputs to maintain, operate, develop, or improve the Services and underlying technologies, subject to de-identification and encryption, with an opt-out mechanism via a platform setting.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" 3.1 You fully understand and agree that, under these Terms, we grant you a revocable, non-transferable, and non-exclusive right to legally use this product and related services. All other rights not expressly authorized by these Terms are reserved by DeepSeek, and before exercising such rights, you must obtain written permission from DeepSeek. Additionally, DeepSeek's failure to exercise any of these rights does not constitute a waiver of those rights. If you publish or disseminate outputs generated by the Services, you must: (1) proactively verify the authenticity and accuracy of the output content to avoid spreading false information; (2) clearly indicate that the output content is generated by artificial intelligence, to alert the public to the synthetic nature of the content; (3) avoid publishing and disseminating any output content that violates the usage specifications of these Terms."
Grants users a revocable, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the Services, reserves all other rights to DeepSeek, requires written permission for unlicensed rights, clarifies non-waiver, and imposes obligations on users publishing outputs to verify accuracy and comply with laws — establishing the scope of the usage license and its conditions.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" 1.6 Users may also share the Inputs and Outputs information (together referred to as "Dialogues") by generating a unique URL. Anyone who has access to a shared link can view the linked Dialogues. When using such feature, any Dialogues you share with others, if subsequently published on public networks, may be at risk of being obtained by third parties through technical means such as web crawlers. We have implemented industry-standard anti-crawling mechanisms (the robots exclusion protocol) to prevent third parties from scraping user-publicly shared content. However, due to the technical limitations commonly existing within the industry, such risks cannot be entirely eliminated."
Describes the dialogue-sharing feature and associated privacy risk — that publicly shared content may be scraped by third parties despite anti-crawling measures — effectively disclaiming liability for third-party data collection of user-shared content.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" 5.3 To prevent confusion while reducing the potential impact of inaccurate generated information, DeepSeek has added labels within the platform to explicitly remind users that such content is AI generated. You shall not delete, alter, forge, conceal, or attempt to circumvent such labels, nor use this Service to produce or disseminate false information, infringing information, or engage in any illegal or non-compliant activities."
This segment restricts users from deleting, altering, forging, concealing, or circumventing AI-generated content labels, and prohibits use of the Service to produce or disseminate false, infringing, or illegal information.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"even after the user deletes the account, we still have the right to: Retain certain data of the user as required by laws and regulations. Exercise the rights stipulated in these Terms for any illegal or violating behavior committed by the user during the use of the Services before de"
The retention clause is open-ended ('certain data') and justified by a broad 'laws and regulations' carve-out without specifying applicable jurisdictions, duration, or data types. This limits users' ability to exercise deletion/erasure rights effectively.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us, our affiliates, employees and licensors (if any) harmless against any liabilities, damages, and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) payable to a third party arising out of a breach by you or any user of your account of these Terms, your violation of all applicable laws and regulations or third party rights, your fraud or other illegal acts, or your intentional misconduct or gross negligence, to the extent permitted by the applicable la"
The user indemnifies DeepSeek and its affiliates for third-party claims. Coverage extends to all users of the account, meaning account holders bear liability for others' actions. Limited to intentional misconduct/gross negligence, which partially reduces risk.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" 8.4 Unless otherwise agreed, either DeepSeek or you shall not be liable for the other’s incidental, consequential, punitive, special, or indirect losses or damages, including but not limited to the loss of profits or goodwill, unless such losses or damages result from its own intentional or gross negligent conduct. This limitation applies irrespective of any litigation brought under breach, tort, compensation, or any other legal grounds, even if the party was informed of the possibility of such losses. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE THAT GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE LIABILITY AROSE OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY ONLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW."
This segment establishes mutual exclusion of incidental, consequential, punitive, special, or indirect damages except for intentional or grossly negligent conduct, and caps DeepSeek's aggregate liability at the greater of fees paid or another threshold, constituting a core liability limitation.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"You will bear full responsibility for any losses caused by the leakage of your account or password, except where the loss is caused by our intentional or gross negligent conduc"
The clause allocates financial risk of unauthorized account access to the user by default. The carve-out for DeepSeek's 'intentional or gross negligent conduct' sets a high threshold that will rarely be met in practice, limiting user recourse.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"Unless otherwise agreed, either DeepSeek or you shall not be liable for the other’s incidental, consequential, punitive, special, or indirect losses or damages, including but not limited to the loss of profits or goodwill, unless such losses or damages result from its own intentional or gross negligent conduct. This limitation applies irrespective of any litigation brought under breach, tort, compensation, or any other legal grounds, even if the party was informed of the possibility of such losses. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE THAT GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE LIABILITY AROSE OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY ONLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW"
The liability cap of $100 is extremely low and practically eliminates meaningful recovery for free-tier users. The mutual exclusion of consequential damages limits both parties, but DeepSeek as the service provider benefits disproportionately from this limitation.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"10.2 In the event of a dispute arising from the signing, performance, or interpretation of these Terms, the parties can make efforts to resolve it amicably through negotiation. Also either party has the right to file a lawsuit with a court having jurisdiction over the location of the registered office of Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd."
The exclusive venue is a Chinese court at DeepSeek's registered location (Hangzhou). Non-Chinese users face significant practical barriers — cost, language, travel, and procedural unfamiliarity — to asserting legal rights. No arbitration, class action, or alternative dispute resolution mechanism is offered.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"10.1 The establishment, execution, interpretation, and resolution of disputes under these Terms shall be governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China in the mainland."
Choice-of-law clause selects mainland Chinese law for all disputes. For users outside China, this means their local consumer/data protection laws may not apply, and enforcing rights could require engaging with an unfamiliar legal system. This is a significant risk for EU, US, and other non-Chinese users.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.

Grants DeepSeek the right to use technical means to monitor and review user behavior for legal and compliance purposes, including risk filtering and illegal-content databases.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" Exercise the rights stipulated in these Terms for any illegal or violating behavior committed by the user during the use of the Services before deletion."
Reserves DeepSeek's right to exercise enforcement rights under the Terms for any user violations committed prior to account deletion, ensuring that account deletion does not extinguish DeepSeek's remedial or enforcement authority.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" 11.1 In order to provide you with better services or to comply with changes in national laws, regulations, policy adjustments, technical conditions, product functionalities, and other requirements, we may revise these Terms from time to time. The revised content will form an integral part of these Terms. Once announced, it replaces the original terms. Please refer to the latest version of these Terms on the official website. If you do not accept the modified terms, please stop using the Service immediately. Your continued usage of the Service will be considered as your acceptance of the modified terms."
Establishes the procedure for amending the Terms, providing that DeepSeek may revise them unilaterally, that revised terms replace originals upon announcement, and that continued use constitutes acceptance, while granting users the right to reject changes by ceasing use.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" Retain certain data of the user as required by laws and regulations."
Imposes an obligation on DeepSeek to retain certain user data after account deletion as required by laws and regulations, establishing a legally mandated data-retention duty that overrides deletion requests.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" their content, services, or practices. Your use of any such link is undertaken at your sole discretion and risk. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to evaluate the third party's terms, protect your data, and secure your property when engaging with these external resources."
This segment places the obligation on the user to evaluate third-party terms, protect their own data, and secure their property when engaging with external resources, shifting responsibility away from DeepSeek.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" 5.2 When you enable the "Search" function, the accuracy of the Outputs may be improved to some extent. However, limited by current technical capabilities, inaccuracy in AI-generated content is a common industry-wide issue and cannot be entirely avoided. Therefore, please use our Services rationally in accordance with these Terms."
This segment discloses that even with the Search function enabled, inaccuracy in AI-generated content is an industry-wide issue that cannot be entirely avoided, limiting DeepSeek's liability for Output accuracy.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
