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-source.alibaba.com is a subdomain of alibaba.com, the domain of Alibaba Group, which publishes AliExpress, so this is a first-party endpoint; I do not know the specific service behind the 'orange-source' hostname. Any data flow it implies plausibly falls within the app's broad declared collection (app interactions, device/user IDs, diagnostics), so nothing here indicates an undisclosed flow.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is under alibaba.com and is most likely operated by the app's provider or its Alibaba affiliate. The contact alone does not establish a data flow beyond the broad categories declared in the privacy label.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain global-orange-source.alibaba.com belongs to Alibaba, the developer of AliExpress, making this a first-party endpoint. First-party network traffic aligned with the app's standard operations does not constitute an undisclosed third-party data flow.
