This page aggregates measured, corroborated evidence: donors' iPhones recorded apps contacting this domain, every claim below was reported by separate accepted donations and published under a human verdict (later rows for an approved app inherit its verdict). A contact is a measurement, not an accusation — it does not show what data was sent.

What our research panel found AI-drafted · human-reviewed
We ask several independent AI models the same question and publish their answers separately — cross-vendor agreement is evidence against fabrication, and disagreement is worth seeing. 3 of 3 models answered, overall confidence medium — undisclosed split: anthropic=true, openai=false, gemini=false. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — tracker
online-metrix.net is the domain used by ThreatMetrix (LexisNexis Risk Solutions) for device fingerprinting, typically deployed for fraud/risk scoring; regardless of purpose, it implies collection of device identifiers and fingerprinting signals, which is not covered by any declared category (the label lists no Identifiers/Device ID/Usage-diagnostic identifier data). Purpose is likely anti-fraud rather than advertising, so a reviewer may want to note that context.
OpenAI — tracker
aa.online-metrix.net is commonly associated with online fraud-risk and device-fingerprinting services, so it most likely functions as a tracker. The provided privacy label includes app interactions and browsing history, and the contact alone does not establish an undeclared data flow.
Google Gemini — tracker
aa.online-metrix.net is operated by ThreatMetrix (LexisNexis Risk Solutions) for device fingerprinting, fraud prevention, and analytics tracking. The contact does not clearly appear undisclosed as the app declares collecting diagnostics and app interactions.
