s.w-x.co

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 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

s.w-x.co appears to be a Weather Company/Weather Channel-operated domain (w-x.co is used by weather.com properties for short links and asset/config delivery), making it a first-party endpoint for this app, though I cannot confirm registrant details from what was provided. The app's label already declares collecting and sharing a broad set of categories including identifiers and precise location, so this contact does not imply an undeclared data flow.

OpenAI — unknown

The owner and function of s.w-x.co are not provided, so its role is ambiguous. The app's label declares broad collection and sharing categories including identifiers, interactions, diagnostics, and location, so an undisclosed flow cannot be established from this contact alone.

Google Gemini — first-party

The domain s.w-x.co is first-party infrastructure belonging to The Weather Company (The Weather Channel). First-party communication with the app's own domain is not considered an undisclosed third-party data flow.

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 Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it.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).
