ConductAtlas User-Protection Index
Insufficient coverage
Insufficient coverage to score
Only 1 of 6 governance dimensions are confidently known for DeepSeek — too few for a headline score. What we do have is shown below.
How is this scored? →

Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score. Computed algorithmically from DeepSeek’s cited governance stances; no dimension we haven’t confidently read is ever counted against the score. Free, reproducible, and never purchasable.

Key Governance Provisions
DeepSeek Limitation of All Damages

By excluding every named category of damages, the clause leaves users without a contractual remedy against DeepSeek for virtually any harm connected to the Model or the License.

Authors Not Liable for Any Damages

An absolute disclaimer of liability across all legal theories and all types of damages means users bear full risk of any harm arising from the Software with no recourse against the authors or copyrig…

Software Provided Without Warranty

The complete disclaimer of all warranties, including the three named implied warranties, means users receive no assurance about the Software's quality, suitability, or non-infringement of third-party…

Derivative Licenses Must Include Same Use Restrictions

This clause ensures that use-based restrictions cannot be stripped away by relicensing derivatives, preserving the floor of restrictions across the entire chain of downstream versions.

Personal Information Compliance Obligation

This clause makes legal compliance with personal information laws a contractual obligation, meaning a breach of applicable privacy law also constitutes a breach of the License.
