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=unknown, openai=unknown, gemini=cdn. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — unknown
dns.google is Google Public DNS's DoH/resolver endpoint — network infrastructure rather than a tracking, analytics, ad, or content-delivery endpoint, and for a speed-test app DNS lookup/latency measurement is plausibly core functionality, so none of the offered categories fit cleanly. Contacting a public DNS resolver does not by itself evidence a personal-data flow beyond the IP address inherent to any network request, so it does not appear to exceed the (empty) declared label on the evidence given.
OpenAI — unknown
dns.google is a Google DNS endpoint, but the provided information does not establish what data the app sends or whether the contact reflects app data collection. With no evidence of a covered data flow, undisclosed status cannot be determined.
Google Gemini — cdn
dns.google is Google's Public DNS service, providing basic network infrastructure for domain resolution. Standard functional DNS queries do not imply undisclosed data collection or tracking under app store privacy rules.
