If you use DeepSeek in the Groq cloud your data will not be send to servers in China. GroqCloud™ Makes DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 70B Available - Groq is Fast AI Inference
Note that Groq is a US-based company and when you send a query via DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70b on GroqCloud, we’ve deployed it on our infrastructure. In particular, when you send a query (inputs/outputs) to any model instance via GroqCloud™, we temporarily store it in memory and clear it as soon as your session is completed. We do this because we don’t do training – we do inference. While Groq has no incentive to keep your data, customers who want storage can work with their own provider to meet their application needs.
This means your data won’t be sent to any DeepSeek servers in China. We take privacy seriously at Groq and you can learn more about that commitment at trust.groq.com.
