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
consumer-downdetector-api.speedtest.net is a subdomain of speedtest.net, the developer's own domain (bundle ID com.ookla.speedtest; Downdetector is an Ookla-branded service), so this is first-party app functionality traffic. The mere existence of a first-party API call does not by itself demonstrate collection of data beyond what a 'no data collected' label allows, so I cannot conclude the label is incomplete.
OpenAI — first-party
The speedtest.net domain is plausibly operated for the Speedtest app's own service functionality, including Downdetector-related features. Because the app declares no data collection or sharing, this observed service contact appears not covered by its privacy label.
Google Gemini — first-party
The contacted domain belongs to speedtest.net, which is owned by Ookla (the app's developer), making this a first-party API endpoint for app functionality. First-party functional API requests do not inherently imply an undisclosed data flow.
