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
global-orange-dc.alibaba.com is a subdomain of alibaba.com, the app publisher's own domain, so it is first-party infrastructure; the specific role of the 'orange-dc' host (possibly a data-collection or datacenter endpoint) is not something I can verify. The app's label already declares collecting device IDs, app interactions, diagnostics and account data, so a first-party endpoint implies no data flow beyond what is declared.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is under alibaba.com and therefore most likely first-party infrastructure for Alibaba.com. The provided privacy label declares extensive collection categories, so this contact alone does not establish an undeclared data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain global-orange-dc.alibaba.com belongs to the app publisher (Alibaba), making this first-party network traffic. Functional first-party communications do not indicate an undisclosed third-party data flow.
