Deepseek collects and process all the data you sent to their LLN even from API calls. It is a no-go for most of businesses applications. For example, OpenAI and Anyhropic do not collect or process anyhow data sent via API and there is an opy-ouy button in their settings that allows to avoid processing of the data sent via UI.
You can run 'em locally, tho, if their gh page is to be believed. And this way you can make sure nothing gets even sent to their servers, and not just believe nothing is processed.
DeepSeek is an open source project that anybody can run, and it’s performant enough that even running the full model is cheap enough for any company to do.
