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 host pattern (lf16-beecdn, ibytedtos.com) is consistent with ByteDance's own object-storage/CDN edge infrastructure, i.e. same-corporate-family content delivery for CapCut (com.lemon.lvoverseas) rather than a third-party tracker; I cannot verify registrant ownership from what was provided. A CDN asset fetch by itself implies little beyond incidental connection data (e.g. IP, user agent), so it does not clearly evidence a collection or sharing flow beyond the empty label.
OpenAI — cdn
The hostname appears to be a ByteDance-related CDN endpoint, likely used to deliver app content or assets. A CDN contact alone does not establish collection or sharing of user data beyond the label.
Google Gemini — cdn
lf16-beecdn.ibytedtos.com is a ByteDance-owned Content Delivery Network (CDN) domain used for serving static assets to ByteDance applications like CapCut. Loading CDN assets for app functionality does not inherently constitute undisclosed data collection.
