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=unknown, gemini=first-party. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — unknown
time.apple.com is Apple's NTP time-synchronization endpoint, typically contacted by iOS itself rather than by app-level SDKs, so it does not fit the tracker/analytics/advertising/CDN categories and is not first-party to eBay. Time sync carries no user data flow, so nothing here implies collection beyond the app's declared label.
OpenAI — unknown
time.apple.com is plausibly an Apple time-service endpoint, but the provided data does not establish ownership or the specific data transmitted. The app's label is broad, and the contact alone does not demonstrate an undeclared data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
time.apple.com is Apple's Network Time Protocol (NTP) server used for system time synchronization on iOS devices. This standard platform service does not represent undisclosed data collection by the app.
