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 medium — classification split: anthropic=first-party, openai=unknown, gemini=first-party. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — first-party
DingTalk is Alibaba Group's own communication/messaging platform, and the 'icbu' label matches Alibaba's International Commerce Business Unit (the Alibaba.com business), so this subdomain most likely serves first-party messaging or push infrastructure rather than a third-party tracker; I cannot verify the specific function of the 'lws-' host. The app's label already declares collecting user-generated content, user IDs, device IDs and app interactions, so this contact does not clearly imply an undeclared data flow.
OpenAI — unknown
The domain appears associated with DingTalk, but the provided data does not establish its owner, function, or what data was transmitted. The app's label already declares broad collection categories, so an undisclosed flow cannot be determined from this contact alone.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain lws-icbu.dingtalk.com is operated by Alibaba Group (DingTalk) to support messaging and communication features for Alibaba's International Core Business Unit (ICBU). Because it is a first-party operational service, this contact does not indicate undisclosed data collection.
