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
cloudsearch.googleapis.com is a Google-operated googleapis.com API endpoint (Google Cloud Search), so for a Google-published app like Gmail this is first-party infrastructure rather than a third-party tracker. The app's label already declares collecting in-app search history, emails, and files and docs, which covers a search-query data flow to its own backend.
OpenAI — first-party
cloudsearch.googleapis.com is a Google API domain and is plausibly used for Gmail search-related functionality. Gmail's label declares collection of in-app search history and extensive related account, content, and usage data, so this contact is not clearly outside the declared flows.
Google Gemini — first-party
cloudsearch.googleapis.com is an API endpoint operated by Google to provide search functionality within its apps, making this a first-party service domain. The app declares extensive data collection including in-app search history, so this contact does not appear undisclosed.
