← Measured in the wild

acs.m.alibaba.com

classified as first-party · 2

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 high. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.

Anthropic Claude — first-party

acs.m.alibaba.com is a subdomain of alibaba.com, the app publisher's own domain, and appears to be Alibaba's mobile API gateway rather than a third-party service. First-party API traffic is consistent with the app's extensive declared collection categories, so nothing here implies an undisclosed data flow.

OpenAI — first-party

The domain is under m.alibaba.com and therefore appears to be Alibaba-operated first-party infrastructure. The provided privacy label declares extensive collection categories, so this contact alone does not establish an undeclared data flow.

Google Gemini — first-party

The domain acs.m.alibaba.com shares second-level domain ownership with the app developer (Alibaba), making it a first-party endpoint. First-party operational domain contacts do not constitute an undisclosed third-party data flow.

Think something here is wrong?

Evidence and research improve when people push back. Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it. Responses can take up to 30 days.

If you leave an email it is encrypted at rest and opened only to answer you — never shared, never used for anything else. It is erased 30 days after we resolve this (or 180 days if it is still open) without you asking, and you can erase it sooner at any time; either way your correction stays, anonymously. Leave it blank and your request is fully anonymous from the start (we store no IP address either way).
