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 endpoint domain, and the '-pa' host pattern matches Google's internal private API services; for Google's own Gmail app this is a first-party backend call, most likely an app generative-AI feature service (I cannot confirm the exact service behind 'appsgenaiserver'). The app's label already declares broad first-party collection including emails, files, and app interactions, so no data flow beyond the declared label is evident.

OpenAI — first-party

The domain is a googleapis.com endpoint and is most likely operated by Google, the Gmail app's provider. Gmail's label declares broad collection categories that could cover a service request, but the specific data flow cannot be determined from the domain alone.

Google Gemini — first-party

The domain appsgenaiserver-pa.googleapis.com is an official Google infrastructure endpoint used for first-party features in Gmail. The app declares extensive data collection covering core app functionality, so this contact appears disclosed.

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 Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it.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