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 — analytics
segment.com is the domain of Segment, a customer-data/analytics platform (acquired by Twilio in 2020); the cdn-settings subdomain is the endpoint the Segment SDK fetches its source configuration from, so it is analytics-SDK infrastructure rather than a distinct ad or tracking network. The app's label already declares collecting and sharing App interactions, Device or other IDs, and Diagnostics, which covers a Segment analytics integration, so nothing here implies an undeclared data flow.
OpenAI — analytics
The segment.com domain is commonly associated with analytics/configuration services, and the cdn-settings host is consistent with serving analytics settings. Kickstarter declares collection and sharing of device identifiers, diagnostics, location, and app-interaction data, so this contact is not clearly outside its label.
Google Gemini — analytics
The domain cdn-settings.segment.com is operated by Segment (Twilio), a customer data and analytics platform, to serve SDK settings. The app declares collecting and sharing analytics-related data, including Device IDs and App Interactions, so this contact does not appear undisclosed.
