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
config.edge.skype.com is a Microsoft-operated endpoint (the Skype/ECS-style configuration and feature-flag service) and Outlook is a Microsoft app, so this is same-owner first-party infrastructure rather than a third-party tracker; note that such config/experimentation endpoints can also carry lightweight telemetry or experiment-assignment identifiers, which is analytics-adjacent. Any device identifiers or diagnostics implied by the contact fall within the app's declared collection of Device or other IDs, Diagnostics, and App interactions, so nothing here exceeds the label.
OpenAI — first-party
The skype.com domain is associated with Microsoft services and is plausibly a first-party configuration endpoint for Outlook. The declared label covers device identifiers, diagnostics, and app performance data, so the contact alone does not show an uncovered data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain config.edge.skype.com is owned and operated by Microsoft, the developer of Microsoft Outlook, serving first-party configuration and operational traffic. The network contact aligns with the app's declared first-party functionality.
