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=first-party, openai=advertising, gemini=first-party. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — first-party
ads-resources.waze.com is a subdomain of the app publisher's own domain (waze.com), so the contact is first-party infrastructure; the name suggests it serves ad-related resources/assets, which would make it arguably a first-party CDN endpoint rather than a third-party tracker. The app's label already declares advertising-relevant collection (app interactions, location) and sharing of device/other IDs, and nothing in the given data shows a flow beyond that, so I do not judge it undisclosed.
OpenAI — advertising
The subdomain name "ads-resources.waze.com" strongly indicates advertising-related resources hosted under Waze's own domain. Waze declares sharing Device or other IDs, so the provided label does not clearly leave this contact undisclosed.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain ads-resources.waze.com is a first-party subdomain belonging to the app developer (Waze). Connecting to a first-party domain for ad assets is consistent with the app's declared data collection practices.
