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 — cdn
frontend-cdn.perplexity.ai is a subdomain of perplexity.ai, the same organization that publishes the app (bundle id ai.perplexity.app), and the 'frontend-cdn' hostname pattern suggests first-party asset/content delivery rather than a third-party tracker. Serving the app's own frontend assets does not by itself imply a data flow beyond what a store label would cover, so nothing here indicates an undisclosed collection or sharing; a deeper payload inspection would be needed to say more.
OpenAI — cdn
The hostname frontend-cdn.perplexity.ai appears to be a first-party content delivery endpoint for the app's own perplexity.ai domain. No evidence is provided that this contact transmits data beyond content delivery, so undisclosed status cannot be determined.
Google Gemini — cdn
frontend-cdn.perplexity.ai is a first-party CDN domain for Perplexity AI used for delivering app assets and core functional content, which does not imply undisclosed third-party data sharing or tracking.
