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 — advertising
doubleclick.net is Google's ad-serving domain (DoubleClick, acquired by Google), and the 'ad.' host is used for ad delivery and click tracking rather than app functionality. Since the app's store label declares no data collection or sharing at all, contact with a third-party advertising endpoint implies a data flow the label does not cover; a human reviewer should confirm whether the request carried identifiers.
OpenAI — advertising
ad.doubleclick.net is a DoubleClick advertising domain. The app declares no data collection or sharing, so this advertising contact appears undisclosed.
Google Gemini — advertising
ad.doubleclick.net is a well-known Google ad serving domain. Because the app declares no data collection or sharing in its privacy label, contacting an advertising network domain appears undisclosed.
