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 content-delivery/asset domain, so this is first-party infrastructure for an Alibaba-published app rather than a third-party tracker; the 'slsrole' subdomain may relate to Alibaba Cloud logging services, but I cannot confirm its exact function. Any telemetry it carries would plausibly fall under the app's declared collection of app interactions, device IDs, crash logs and diagnostics, so nothing here indicates an undisclosed flow.
OpenAI — cdn
The alicdn.com domain is associated with Alibaba CDN infrastructure, and the specific subdomain may support Alibaba-hosted service or logging delivery. The app declares diagnostics, crash logs, app interactions, and device identifiers, so this contact does not by itself indicate an undeclared data flow.
Google Gemini — cdn
alicdn.com is a Content Delivery Network domain owned and operated by Alibaba Group, serving as first-party infrastructure for the AliExpress app. This network traffic reflects first-party operational content delivery rather than an undisclosed third-party data flow.
