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
gsp36-ssl.ls.apple.com is an Apple-operated endpoint (ls.apple.com is Apple's location/geo services infrastructure, commonly used for place lookup such as photo geotagging), so a contact from Apple's own Photos app is first-party. No store privacy label data was provided here (built-in system apps often have none in this dataset), so this cannot be shown to exceed a declared label; I would not flag it as undisclosed without the actual label text.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is under apple.com and appears to be an Apple-operated service endpoint. No evidence provided identifies the specific data flow, so it cannot be determined that it is outside the app's label.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain gsp36-ssl.ls.apple.com is owned by Apple and used for system location and mapping services. Contact by Apple's native Photos app (com.apple.mobileslideshow) to Apple's own servers constitutes first-party functional traffic.
