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
msgacs.m.alibaba.com is a subdomain of alibaba.com, the app's own publisher, and the 'msg'/'acs' naming suggests an internal messaging or mobile connectivity/push gateway rather than a third-party service; I cannot confirm its exact function beyond that. As first-party infrastructure it falls within the app's extensive declared collection (including device IDs, app interactions, and diagnostics), so nothing here implies an undeclared data flow.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is under m.alibaba.com, which appears associated with the app's Alibaba domain. The provided privacy label declares broad collection categories, and the contact alone does not establish an uncovered data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain msgacs.m.alibaba.com belongs to the app's owner, Alibaba, making this a first-party service endpoint.
