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
ctilesgcs-am.waze.com is a subdomain of waze.com, the app's own domain (Waze is owned by Google), so this is first-party infrastructure; the name suggests map tile delivery (possibly via Google Cloud Storage) though I cannot confirm its exact function. Location and app-interaction data are already declared in the label, so nothing here implies an undeclared data flow.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is a waze.com subdomain and therefore most likely first-party infrastructure for Waze. The provided label declares location, diagnostics, identifiers, and app-interaction-related collection, so this contact alone does not establish an undeclared data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
The contacted domain is a subdomain of waze.com, making it a first-party endpoint used to deliver core app content such as map tiles.
