This isn't true at least on the API. If you read their privacy policy you'll see the training clause is scoped specifically to the consumer terms i.e. for the chat product. No such clause exists for the API service, and it would absolutely be required under Chinese law if it was taking place.
Contrary to popular belief, DeepSeek really aren't interested in your prompts.
Do you have a link to their API privacy policy?
What I see is https://cdn.deepseek.com/policies/en-US/deepseek-privacy-pol...
They do not have a specific exclusion for API use.
I know Z.ai has an exclusion for API use. It's widely reported Deepseek doesn't.
