classified as first-party · 2

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

The host sits under amazon.dev with an 'mshop' (mobile shopping) label and an AWS-style region/stage prefix, which is consistent with Amazon's own first-party backend for the Amazon Shopping app rather than a third-party service; I cannot verify the specific service behind 'mdcs'. Any data flow here is plausibly covered by the app's extensive declared collection categories, so nothing appears undisclosed from what is provided.

OpenAI — first-party

The domain is under amazon.dev and appears associated with Amazon's mobile shopping infrastructure. The app's privacy label declares a broad range of collected and shared data types, so this contact does not by itself imply an undeclared flow.

Google Gemini — first-party

The contacted domain belongs to Amazon's internal development and operational infrastructure for its mobile shopping app, making it first-party traffic. Routine first-party communication is consistent with the app's disclosures.

Think something here is wrong?

Evidence and research improve when people push back. Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it. Responses can take up to 30 days.

If you leave an email it is encrypted at rest and opened only to answer you — never shared, never used for anything else. It is erased 30 days after we resolve this (or 180 days if it is still open) without you asking, and you can erase it sooner at any time; either way your correction stays, anonymously. Leave it blank and your request is fully anonymous from the start (we store no IP address either way).
