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.kickstarter.com matches the app's own bundle identifier and name (com.kickstarter.kickstarter), so this is first-party backend/web contact by the app operator. The declared label already covers account, device, and app-interaction data flowing to the developer, so no undisclosed flow is implied.
OpenAI — first-party
The contacted domain matches the Kickstarter app's brand and bundle identifier, so it most likely is a first-party service domain. The label declares multiple relevant data categories, and the contact alone does not establish an undeclared data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
www.kickstarter.com is the primary first-party domain for the Kickstarter app. Communication with the app's own backend is expected and does not represent an undisclosed data flow.
