attest.perplexity.ai

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

Anthropic Claude — first-party

attest.perplexity.ai is a subdomain of perplexity.ai, the app publisher's own domain (bundle ID ai.perplexity.app), so this is first-party infrastructure; the 'attest' hostname suggests a device/app attestation or integrity-check endpoint, though I cannot confirm its exact function. Because I cannot determine from the data given what payload is sent, I do not mark it undisclosed — but the 'nothing declared' label paired with any live first-party server contact is worth human verification, since attestation flows can carry device identifiers.

OpenAI — first-party

The domain is a subdomain of perplexity.ai and most likely serves Perplexity's own attestation or app-integrity function. The app declares no data collection or sharing, so this measured network contact appears undisclosed.

Google Gemini — first-party

The domain attest.perplexity.ai is a subdomain of the app developer's primary service (Perplexity) and represents a first-party operational endpoint used for app or device attestation. As a necessary first-party request, it does not imply undisclosed third-party data tracking or sharing.

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 Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it.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