classified as advertising · 2

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 — undisclosed split: anthropic=false, openai=true, gemini=true. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.

Anthropic Claude — advertising

api-adservices.apple.com is an Apple Inc. endpoint used by the AdServices framework for Apple Search Ads install/campaign attribution, so it is ad-related infrastructure rather than a third-party tracker. Whether it implies a developer-collected data flow depends on how the attribution token is used downstream (e.g., forwarded to an MMP or the developer's server), which is not visible here, so I cannot conclude the empty label is contradicted; a human should note the 'nothing declared' label as worth verifying.

OpenAI — advertising

api-adservices.apple.com is an Apple domain associated with Apple Search Ads advertising services. Because the app declares no data collection or sharing, an advertising-service contact appears undisclosed.

Google Gemini — advertising

The domain api-adservices.apple.com is operated by Apple for Apple Search Ads campaign attribution and advertising services. Because the app declares collecting and sharing no data in its store privacy label, this network activity appears undisclosed.

Think something here is wrong?

Evidence and research improve when people push back. Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it. Responses can take up to 30 days.

If you leave an email it is encrypted at rest and opened only to answer you — never shared, never used for anything else. It is erased 30 days after we resolve this (or 180 days if it is still open) without you asking, and you can erase it sooner at any time; either way your correction stays, anonymously. Leave it blank and your request is fully anonymous from the start (we store no IP address either way).
