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. 2 of 3 models answered, overall confidence low — classification split: openai=analytics, gemini=first-party · no answer from anthropic (HTTP 529). A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
OpenAI — analytics
The Google-owned clienttracing-pa.googleapis.com endpoint appears consistent with client tracing or performance telemetry. The app declares Crash Logs, Diagnostics, Other App Performance Data, Device IDs, and App Interactions, which cover this likely data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain clienttracing-pa.googleapis.com is an infrastructure endpoint operated by Google for client tracing and diagnostics. Because the app is developed by Google, this is a first-party contact, and the app declares collecting diagnostic and app performance data.
