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 — cdn
The hostname pattern (aliexpress-media.com, 'ae-pic' subdomain) indicates an AliExpress-operated image/media asset host serving product pictures, i.e. first-party content delivery rather than a third-party tracker; I have no independent registry confirmation of the operator beyond the domain name itself. Serving app content implies no data flow beyond the device/network identifiers and app interaction data the label already declares, so nothing here appears undisclosed.
OpenAI — cdn
The aliexpress-media.com hostname and "pic" subdomain suggest media/image delivery associated with AliExpress. No evidence provided indicates a data flow beyond the app's declared collection categories.
Google Gemini — cdn
The domain ae-pic-a1.aliexpress-media.com is used by AliExpress to host and serve media assets such as product images. Routine content delivery via an official media domain is expected core app functionality and does not indicate an undisclosed tracking flow.
