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
rudderstack.com dataplane endpoints are event-collection ingestion points for RudderStack, a customer data platform used for analytics/event routing, and the 'epochtimeshzek' subdomain appears to be a customer-specific dataplane provisioned for this app's publisher. Since the app's store label declares no data collection or sharing at all, sending app events to a third-party analytics/CDP endpoint implies a data flow the label does not cover; note that RudderStack can be self-hosted or configured to forward onward, so the exact downstream recipients cannot be determined from this evidence alone.
OpenAI — analytics
The domain is a RudderStack dataplane endpoint, which is commonly used to collect and route product analytics or event data. The app declares no collection or sharing, so this analytics contact appears undisclosed.
Google Gemini — analytics
The domain is a RudderStack analytics dataplane used for collecting user event data. Because the app declares no data collection in its privacy label, this contact appears undisclosed.
