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
The hostname pattern (gv-vod-cdn on aliexpress-media.com) indicates a first-party content delivery endpoint for video/media assets serving the AliExpress app itself; I have no registration record on hand, so ownership by Alibaba is inferred from the domain name rather than verified. Media delivery for the app's own content does not imply a data flow beyond the app's declared collection of app interactions and device identifiers.
OpenAI — cdn
The hostname includes "cdn" and is under an AliExpress-branded media domain, which most likely serves video or other content delivery. The provided label is broad and does not establish an uncovered data flow from this contact alone.
Google Gemini — cdn
The domain gv-vod-cdn.aliexpress-media.com is a content delivery network used by AliExpress to serve video-on-demand media assets. Servicing core media content via a first-party CDN does not imply undisclosed tracking or data collection.
