  x-evidence: Corrected 2026-09-02. The previous pointer https://www.anntaylor.com/privacy-policy is not a path the site publishes
    — it returns the storefront's soft-404 ("Oh no, something went wrong!"), byte-identical to a control path that cannot
    exist. This URL is the one the anntaylor.com footer itself links.

  detail: ANN Inc. is a women's apparel retailer (Ann Taylor, LOFT) held by KnitWell Group under Sycamore Partners; its only
    programmable surface is an affiliate program whose link, feed and reporting APIs belong to FlexOffers and CJ Affiliate,
    and full STEP 0b contract discovery found no first-party spec — api.anntaylor.com and developer.anntaylor.com do not resolve
    at all, while www.anntaylor.com and www.loft.com are Salesforce Commerce Cloud storefronts that answer HTTP 200 with the
    same storefront shell for every path including /openapi.json, /graphql, /llms.txt and a control path that cannot exist.
