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
api.kickstarter.com is the Kickstarter app's own backend API domain, matching the app's publisher and bundle ID (com.kickstarter.kickstarter). First-party API contact is consistent with the declared collection of account, device, and app-interaction data, so nothing here implies an undisclosed flow.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain api.kickstarter.com is a Kickstarter-branded API endpoint and is most likely first-party. The label declares broad account, device, diagnostic, location, interaction, and purchase-related collection/sharing, so this contact alone does not imply an undeclared flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain api.kickstarter.com is the primary first-party API endpoint for the Kickstarter app. Operational traffic to a first-party domain for app functionality is expected and not undisclosed.
