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
www.aliexpress.com is the app's own primary service domain, matching the AliExpress app's publisher (Alibaba), so this is expected first-party traffic for shopping, search, and account functions. The declared collection categories (app interactions, search history, purchase history, contact details, user IDs) cover this flow.
OpenAI — first-party
The contacted domain is the app's own AliExpress web domain and is most likely first-party. The label declares broad collection categories, including device IDs, app interactions, purchases, and browsing history, so this contact does not by itself imply an undeclared data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
www.aliexpress.com is the primary first-party domain for the AliExpress app. Contacting its own domain for normal app function is expected and covered by the app's declared privacy disclosures.
