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=cdn, gemini=first-party. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — first-party
pfse-u.file.temu.com is a subdomain of temu.com, the app's own domain, and the 'file' hostname suggests first-party file/asset upload or delivery infrastructure (possibly CDN-like), though I cannot confirm the specific function or hosting provider. A first-party endpoint of this kind is consistent with the app's declared collection of user-generated content, photos, videos, and identifiers, so nothing here implies an undeclared data flow.
OpenAI — cdn
The domain is a subdomain of temu.com and appears likely to serve files or static content. No evidence provided shows a data flow beyond Temu's already broad declared collection categories.
Google Gemini — first-party
The contacted domain belongs directly to Temu, making it a first-party host used for app files and internal infrastructure. Because it is a first-party domain, its presence does not indicate undisclosed third-party data sharing.
