What DeepSeek does in beauty & wellness

Core tasks in beauty & wellness
Where DeepSeek is strong
  • Very low API costs
  • Open weights (MIT), self-hostable
  • Strong at reasoning, maths and code
  • Large context window (1M tokens)

DeepSeek raises a specific GDPR concern. The DeepSeek service stores personal data in China and was blocked by the Italian regulator in January 2025. Not advisable for regulated sectors unless you host the model yourself within the EU. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in beauty & wellness.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Customer data (name and address, treatment history, payment information) is personal data under the GDPR. Only use systems with a data processing agreement and preferably EU hosting. Be transparent when customers speak with an AI receptionist rather than a member of staff. Health data (skin or hair diagnoses) may be classed as special category personal data, check this against your privacy policy.

The DeepSeek service stores data in China and uses it for training by default (with an opt-out). Only an EU self-hosted variant of the open weights is defensible for sensitive data.

Rule of thumb Use the business variant with a data processing agreement, and keep a human in the loop for decisions that matter.
