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=unknown, gemini=first-party. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — first-party
The naming of epochbase.com closely matches the app's publisher (The Epoch Times, com.theepochtimes.mobile), so this is most plausibly a first-party app backend, though I have no verified registration/ownership record for the domain and the 'pwe' subdomain's function is unclear. A first-party backend call alone does not establish a personal-data flow beyond the (empty) label, so I cannot conclude it is undisclosed from the data given.
OpenAI — unknown
The domain name suggests a possible relationship to Epoch Times, but no ownership or function is provided, so its role is ambiguous. With no evidence of what data was transmitted, the contact alone does not establish an undeclared data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain epochbase.com belongs to the app publisher (The Epoch Times), making this a first-party network request. Without specific evidence of undisclosed data collection transmitted to this domain, it cannot be flagged as undisclosed.
