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 — classification split: anthropic=first-party, openai=unknown, gemini=first-party. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — first-party
air.alibaba.com is a subdomain of alibaba.com, the app publisher's own domain, so this is first-party infrastructure; I do not know which specific internal service (e.g., config, messaging, or telemetry endpoint) 'air' corresponds to. The app's label already declares broad collection including device IDs, diagnostics, account and location data, so nothing here implies a flow outside the declared label.
OpenAI — unknown
The domain is under Alibaba's alibaba.com namespace, but the provided information does not establish its specific function (such as analytics, advertising, or first-party service). The privacy label is broad, and the contact alone does not demonstrate a data flow outside its declarations.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain air.alibaba.com shares the same primary domain as the app developer and publisher (Alibaba), making it a first-party domain. No undisclosed third-party data flow is indicated.
