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 (lf16-*, 'effectcdn', tiktokcdn-us.com) is consistent with a content-delivery endpoint serving effect/filter assets, and CapCut (com.lemon.lvoverseas) is part of the same ByteDance/Lemon family of apps as TikTok, though I cannot independently confirm registrant ownership since none was provided. A functional asset-download CDN contact does not by itself evidence a data flow beyond what is inherent to any HTTP fetch (IP address), so with an empty label I cannot conclude undisclosed collection; a human reviewer may still want to check whether request payloads or identifiers accompany these fetches.
OpenAI — cdn
The hostname appears to be a TikTok-associated content delivery domain, likely serving effect or media assets. A CDN contact alone does not establish collection or sharing of data beyond the app's label.
Google Gemini — cdn
The domain lf16-effectcdn-us.tiktokcdn-us.com is a Content Delivery Network operated by TikTok/ByteDance to serve visual effect assets. Routine network contact to fetch CDN assets does not inherently imply undisclosed data collection or sharing.
