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.aliexpress.com is a subdomain of the app's own aliexpress.com domain, so it is first-party infrastructure operated by the app publisher (Alibaba); the 'dc' label suggests a data-collection or configuration endpoint, but I cannot confirm its exact function. Any telemetry or interaction data sent there appears covered by the app's declared collection of app interactions, device IDs, and diagnostics.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is a subdomain of aliexpress.com and therefore most likely first-party infrastructure for the AliExpress app. The declared label covers broad relevant categories including app interactions, identifiers, diagnostics, and browsing history, so this contact alone does not establish an undisclosed flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
The contacted domain global-orange-dc.aliexpress.com shares the same ownership as the app (AliExpress/Alibaba), making it a first-party domain. This first-party communication aligns with the data collection types declared in the app's privacy label.
