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
googleapis.com is Google's own API infrastructure, and the 'feedback-pa' subdomain appears to be a Google first-party endpoint (the '-pa' pattern is used by Google's private/production API services, commonly for user feedback and diagnostics submission); since Google Maps is a Google app, this is a first-party contact. The declared label already covers crash logs, diagnostics, and other app performance data, so the flow appears disclosed.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is under googleapis.com and is plausibly a Google API endpoint used by Google Maps for feedback-related functionality. The app's privacy label declares broad collection categories that could cover such a contact, so undisclosed data flow cannot be established.
Google Gemini — first-party
feedback-pa.googleapis.com is an API endpoint operated by Google, making this a first-party connection for Google Maps. The app declares collecting various diagnostic and user-generated data, so this contact does not appear undisclosed.
