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
us-ds.temu.com is a subdomain of temu.com, the app's own publisher domain, so this is first-party backend contact (likely a US-region data/API service, though the exact function of the 'ds' host is not something I can confirm). The app's label already declares broad first-party collection including identifiers, purchase history, and app interactions, so no data flow beyond the label is implied.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is a temu.com subdomain and therefore most likely first-party. The label declares extensive collection categories and sharing of device identifiers, so this contact alone does not imply an undeclared data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain us-ds.temu.com is a subdomain of the app's own primary domain (temu.com), classifying it as first-party. First-party communication with the app's backend is consistent with the app's extensive data collection declarations.
