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=unknown, openai=analytics, gemini=analytics. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — unknown
stats.paypal.com is a PayPal, Inc. domain (consistent with the Apple-reported owner), most plausibly telemetry or instrumentation tied to PayPal's checkout/SDK integration rather than a third-party ad or tracking network, but I cannot verify its actual function from the naming alone, so I decline to label it analytics definitively. Temu's label already declares collecting user payment info and purchase history, and PayPal acting as a payment processor is a data flow that label plausibly covers, so nothing here appears undisclosed on the evidence given.
OpenAI — analytics
stats.paypal.com is owned by PayPal, Inc. and its hostname indicates analytics or measurement services. Temu declares collecting app interactions, device identifiers, payment information, and related data types, so this contact is not clearly outside the label.
Google Gemini — analytics
stats.paypal.com is an analytics and telemetry domain operated by PayPal, Inc. This contact does not appear undisclosed because Temu explicitly declares collecting payment info, device IDs, and interaction data.
