← Measured in the wild

gapi.waze.com

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

gapi.waze.com is on the app publisher's own domain (waze.com, the Waze app's operator), so it reads as a first-party API endpoint rather than a third-party tracker; the subdomain's exact function is not confirmed from the data given. The app's label already declares collecting location, app interactions, and user identifiers, which covers the data flow such a first-party backend call would imply.

OpenAI — first-party

The domain is a Waze subdomain and most likely supports Waze's own app services. The label declares extensive collection, including location, identifiers, app interactions, and search history, so this contact alone does not establish an undeclared data flow.

Google Gemini — first-party

The domain gapi.waze.com is a first-party endpoint owned and operated by Waze for its own app services. Contact with an app's primary first-party domain does not indicate an undisclosed third-party data flow.

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 Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it.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