operated by Salesforce.com, Inc. · classified as analytics · 1

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 — classification split: anthropic=analytics, openai=analytics, gemini=tracker. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.

Anthropic Claude — analytics

device.marketingcloudapis.com is a Salesforce Marketing Cloud endpoint (the MobilePush device-registration/engagement API per the Apple-reported owner, Salesforce.com, Inc.), so it functions as a customer-engagement/marketing analytics service operated on the app publisher's behalf rather than a cross-app ad network; the label 'analytics' is somewhat ambiguous here since such CRM endpoints straddle messaging and marketing use. Expedia's label already declares collecting and sharing Device or other IDs and Email address plus collecting App interactions, which plausibly covers the data flow this endpoint implies.

OpenAI — analytics

The domain is owned by Salesforce and appears consistent with Salesforce Marketing Cloud services, which may support analytics or marketing messaging. The app declares collection and sharing of device IDs, emails, search history, and other relevant data categories, so this contact is not clearly outside its label.

Google Gemini — tracker

device.marketingcloudapis.com is owned by Salesforce and used for Marketing Cloud device registration, push notifications, and engagement tracking. Because Expedia explicitly declares collecting and sharing Device or other IDs along with app interaction data, this contact appears disclosed.

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 Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it.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