classified as first-party · 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 high. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.

Anthropic Claude — first-party

googleapis.com is Google's own API infrastructure, so this endpoint is first-party for a Google-published app; the "applecommerce-pa" name suggests a private API for handling Apple in-app purchase/commerce, though I cannot confirm its exact function. The app already declares collecting purchase history and payment info, so the contact does not imply an undeclared data flow.

OpenAI — first-party

The domain is under googleapis.com and appears to be a Google-operated API endpoint, making it likely first-party for Google Gemini. The provided label declares extensive data collection, and the contact alone does not establish an undecalred data flow.

Google Gemini — first-party

applecommerce-pa.googleapis.com is an endpoint owned by Google used for managing Apple commerce integration, making it a first-party domain for the Google Gemini app that aligns with its declared financial and account data collections.

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 Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it.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).
