v.w-x.co

classified as unknown · 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 medium — classification split: anthropic=unknown, openai=unknown, gemini=first-party. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.

Anthropic Claude — unknown

I cannot verify who owns v.w-x.co; the "wx" pattern is a common weather abbreviation and the host could plausibly be first-party Weather Company infrastructure, but I have no source confirming ownership, so I decline to guess. Regardless, the app's label already declares both collecting and sharing an extremely broad set of data (including precise location, device IDs, and app interactions), so this contact does not obviously imply an undeclared data flow.

OpenAI — unknown

The ownership and function of v.w-x.co are not provided, so its role is ambiguous. The app declares collection and sharing across broad identifier, location, interaction, diagnostic, and other-information categories, so an undisclosed flow cannot be established from this contact alone.

Google Gemini — first-party

The domain v.w-x.co is part of The Weather Company's core infrastructure, making it a first-party domain for The Weather Channel app. The contact is expected for standard app functionality and covered by the app's broad privacy disclosures.

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 Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it.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