Taiyuan Chengming Technology sent a formal letter to Zhipu regarding the ZCode code upload incident, demanding the complete deletion of related data.

TechFlow reports that on September 20, Taiyuan Chengming Technology issued a legal letter to Zhipu concerning ZCode's automatic upload of complete workspaces. The letter states that the involved data includes source code, system architecture, database passwords, and cloud service credentials, and demands that Zhipu clarify its practices regarding data storage, cross-border transmission, third-party sharing, and model training usage. It further requires the thorough deletion of related data from servers, caches, and backups, and asks for the provision of access logs and proof of deletion.

Zhipu previously stated that the issue stemmed from an early "codebase indexing" feature that was enabled by default, which has since been fixed. The company also promised to open-source ZCode and submit to third-party audits.
