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
img.alicdn.com is Alibaba's own image content-delivery domain, and the app is published by Alibaba, so this is first-party CDN infrastructure serving product imagery rather than a tracking endpoint. Asset fetching from the publisher's own CDN does not imply a data flow beyond the app's declared collection, so nothing here appears undisclosed.
OpenAI — cdn
The alicdn.com domain name strongly indicates a content-delivery domain, likely used to serve images or other static assets. The provided information does not establish a data flow beyond content delivery that is absent from the app's label.
Google Gemini — cdn
img.alicdn.com is Alibaba's content delivery network used to serve images and static media assets for the AliExpress app. This standard delivery of content by the first party does not constitute undisclosed data tracking or collection.
