← Measured in the wild

classified as analytics · 2

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.

Think something here is wrong?

Evidence and research improve when people push back. Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it. Responses can take up to 30 days.

If you leave an email it is encrypted at rest and opened only to answer you — never shared, never used for anything else. It is erased 30 days after we resolve this (or 180 days if it is still open) without you asking, and you can erase it sooner at any time; either way your correction stays, anonymously. Leave it blank and your request is fully anonymous from the start (we store no IP address either way).
