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
arup-m.alibaba.com is a subdomain of alibaba.com, the app publisher's own domain, so it is first-party infrastructure; I do not know the specific service behind the 'arup' hostname (it could be an internal logging/monitoring endpoint), so its exact function is ambiguous. Any data flow it implies appears covered by the app's broad declared collection (including device IDs, diagnostics, and app interactions).
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is under alibaba.com, matching the app's Alibaba identity, so it most likely serves a first-party function. The provided label declares broad collection categories, and no specific uncovered data flow is shown by this domain contact alone.
Google Gemini — first-party
arup-m.alibaba.com is a subdomain of the app developer's main domain (Alibaba.com), making it a first-party domain. First-party network traffic aligns with the app's declared data collection practices.
