classified as first-party · 2

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

drivelabels.googleapis.com is a Google-operated API endpoint (the Drive Labels API on the googleapis.com service host), so for Google's own Gmail app this is first-party backend communication rather than third-party tracking or advertising. The app already declares collecting Files and docs, Emails, and User IDs, so this contact implies no data flow beyond the declared label.

OpenAI — first-party

drivelabels.googleapis.com is a Google API domain and is likely used for Google Drive-related labeling functionality within Gmail. The declared label already covers Files and docs, Emails, and other relevant user content, so this contact does not by itself imply an undeclared data flow.

Google Gemini — first-party

drivelabels.googleapis.com is a Google-owned API endpoint for Google Drive labels used within Google Workspace products. As Gmail is developed by Google, contacting this domain represents first-party functional traffic covered by the app's extensive privacy declarations.

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 Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it.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