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.
