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 — first-party
The domain is a Costco subdomain and most likely serves first-party mobile content. The provided privacy label covers several app-use and diagnostic data categories, and the contact alone does not establish an uncovered data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain mobilecontentdev.costco.com is a subdomain of Costco's primary web domain, indicating a first-party operational or content delivery endpoint. First-party functional communications do not represent an undisclosed third-party data flow.
