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. 2 of 3 models answered, overall confidence high — no answer from anthropic (HTTP 529). A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
OpenAI — cdn
The media-cdn.costco.com hostname appears to be a Costco-controlled content-delivery endpoint based on its domain name. A CDN media request alone does not establish a data flow beyond the app's declared privacy-label categories.
Google Gemini — cdn
media-cdn.costco.com is a first-party content delivery network domain owned and operated by Costco to serve media content within the app. Because it is a first-party operational endpoint for loading app assets, this contact does not represent undisclosed third-party collection or tracking.
