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 — cdn
gstatic.com is Google's static-content domain; the encrypted-tbn0 hosts serve cached image thumbnails, so this is first-party CDN/asset infrastructure for a Google-published app rather than a distinct tracking endpoint. Fetching images from the vendor's own CDN implies no data flow beyond the extensive collection the label already declares, so nothing appears undisclosed here.
OpenAI — cdn
encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com is a Google static-content/thumbnail delivery domain, consistent with CDN use. The provided label already declares broad collection categories, and the domain contact alone does not establish an uncovered data flow.
Google Gemini — cdn
encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com is a Google-owned Content Delivery Network (CDN) domain used to serve static assets such as image thumbnails. As a first-party CDN serving standard app assets, its contact does not imply an undisclosed data flow.
