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 medium — classification split: anthropic=first-party, openai=unknown, gemini=first-party. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — first-party
capcutapi.us is the API domain used by CapCut itself (bundle com.lemon.lvoverseas), so this looks like first-party app infrastructure; the 'gecko' subdomain pattern suggests a resource/config delivery endpoint, so 'cdn' is a plausible alternative and I cannot confirm the registrant from what I was given. A first-party endpoint contact alone does not establish which data categories were transmitted, so despite the empty privacy label I cannot conclude an undeclared data flow from this evidence — a human should check the request payload before publishing.
OpenAI — unknown
The domain appears related to CapCut infrastructure, but the provided data does not establish its owner or specific function. With no evidence of what data was transmitted, an undisclosed data flow cannot be determined.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain capcutapi.us is a first-party backend domain operated by Lemon Inc./ByteDance for the CapCut application (com.lemon.lvoverseas). First-party functional service calls do not inherently indicate undisclosed personal data collection.
