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
amp-api.podcasts.apple.com is an Apple-operated API endpoint under apple.com serving the Apple Podcasts app itself, so it is a first-party service contact rather than a third-party tracker, analytics, or ad endpoint. The provided label fields are empty rather than affirmatively stating no data flows, so there is not enough here to conclude the contact is undisclosed.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is under apple.com and appears to be an Apple Podcasts API endpoint, consistent with first-party service functionality. No evidence provided establishes a data flow beyond the app's label.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain amp-api.podcasts.apple.com is owned by Apple, making it a first-party endpoint for the Apple Podcasts app. Standard functional requests to first-party APIs do not constitute undisclosed tracking or third-party data sharing.
