← Measured in the wild

upsx.weather.com

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 high. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.

Anthropic Claude — first-party

upsx.weather.com is a subdomain of weather.com, the app publisher's own domain, so this is first-party infrastructure; I do not know the specific function of the 'upsx' host (possibly a user profile/settings service), but that is unverified. The app's label already declares collecting and sharing user IDs, account info, app interactions, and precise location, so this contact does not imply an undeclared data flow.

OpenAI — first-party

The domain is a weather.com subdomain, matching The Weather Channel's service domain and therefore most likely first-party. The app's label declares broad collection and sharing including identifiers, usage data, diagnostics, and location, so this contact alone does not imply an undisclosed flow.

Google Gemini — first-party

upsx.weather.com is a subdomain of weather.com, the primary domain for The Weather Channel, making this a first-party domain. Given the developer's extensive declared data collection and sharing practices, this contact does not appear undisclosed.

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 Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it.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