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 — classification split: anthropic=first-party, openai=unknown, gemini=first-party. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — first-party
googleapis.com is Google's own API domain, so a Google-published app (Gmail) contacting appsgrowthpromo-pa.googleapis.com is a first-party call; the 'appsgrowthpromo' name suggests an in-app promotion/growth service, but I do not know the specific endpoint's function. The declared label already covers app interactions, installed apps, and device IDs with no third-party sharing implied, so nothing here indicates an undisclosed flow.
OpenAI — unknown
The domain is under googleapis.com, but the provided information does not establish its specific service or data purpose. Gmail's label declares extensive collection categories, so this contact alone does not demonstrate an uncovered data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain appsgrowthpromo-pa.googleapis.com is owned by Google, making it a first-party endpoint for the Gmail app. Because Gmail declares collecting a broad set of diagnostic, interaction, and identifier data, this first-party endpoint contact does not appear undisclosed.
