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 — cdn
alicdn.com is Alibaba Group's own content delivery domain (the 's.' host typically serves static image/asset content), so this is first-party CDN infrastructure for an Alibaba-published app rather than a third-party tracker. Serving assets implies no data flow beyond what the label already declares, so nothing appears undisclosed.
OpenAI — cdn
The alicdn.com domain appears consistent with a content-delivery domain, but no owner or request-purpose evidence is provided. A CDN contact alone does not establish a data flow beyond the app's declared label.
Google Gemini — cdn
s.alicdn.com is a content delivery network (CDN) domain operated by Alibaba to deliver static assets for its applications. Connecting to a first-party CDN for core content delivery is expected operational behavior and does not imply undisclosed data collection.
