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.aliexpress.com is a subdomain of aliexpress.com, the app publisher's own domain (Alibaba), so it is first-party infrastructure; the specific purpose of the 'arup-m' host is not something I can confirm, though such hosts are often used for app telemetry or monitoring. Any such data flow appears covered by the app's declared collection of app interactions, device IDs, crash logs, and diagnostics.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is a subdomain of aliexpress.com and most likely supports AliExpress first-party app services. The broad declared collection categories cover likely app contact data, so an undisclosed flow cannot be established from the information provided.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain arup-m.aliexpress.com belongs directly to AliExpress, the publisher of the app, making this a first-party contact. As a first-party endpoint, it does not indicate an undisclosed third-party data collection or sharing flow.
