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
adsassets.waze.com is a subdomain of the app's own domain (waze.com, operated by Waze, a Google subsidiary), and the 'adsassets' label plus 'assets' naming suggests it serves ad creative/static assets rather than acting as a third-party tracker; I cannot confirm its exact function from the data given, so a CDN-style asset role is a plausible alternative reading. Contact with the app's own infrastructure does not by itself imply a data flow beyond the declared label, which already includes app interactions and sharing of device or other IDs.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is a waze.com subdomain and is most likely first-party infrastructure for Waze advertising assets. The label declares sharing of Device or other IDs, so this contact alone does not establish an undeclared data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain adsassets.waze.com is owned by Waze (first-party) and serves advertising assets for the application. Because it is a first-party domain and the app declares sharing device IDs, there is no evidence of undisclosed data collection.
