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
sale.alibaba.com is a subdomain of alibaba.com, the same domain family as the app's own service (Alibaba.com B2B marketplace, bundle id com.alibaba.sourcing), so it reads as first-party app infrastructure rather than a third-party tracker. The app's label already declares extensive first-party collection including identifiers, purchase and account data, so this contact implies no data flow beyond the declared label.
OpenAI — first-party
sale.alibaba.com is a subdomain of Alibaba.com, matching the app's marketplace brand and likely serving first-party functionality. The provided privacy label declares broad collection categories, so this contact alone does not establish an uncovered data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
The contacted domain sale.alibaba.com belongs to the app's primary domain owner (Alibaba), classifying it as a first-party endpoint. Contacting a first-party domain for standard app functionality does not indicate undisclosed data collection.
