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 — first-party
locale.temu.com is a subdomain of temu.com, the app publisher's own domain, and its name suggests locale/region or localization configuration rather than a third-party service. Any data flow it implies (e.g., approximate location, device identifiers) is already covered by the app's declared collection categories.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is a temu.com subdomain and most likely first-party app infrastructure. The label declares broad collection categories that could cover data sent to this endpoint, so undisclosed collection cannot be determined from the provided evidence.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain locale.temu.com is a subdomain of Temu's primary brand domain, making it a first-party network contact. First-party operational communication does not indicate undisclosed third-party data flow.
