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
gspe19-2-ssl.ls.apple.com is a subdomain of apple.com and appears to be Apple's own location/geo services infrastructure ('ls' hosts are used by Apple location services), so for Apple's own Maps app this is a first-party contact to the app operator's own servers. The label field shows nothing declared, but Apple Maps is a preinstalled system app with no third-party store label supplied here, and a first-party functional endpoint does not by itself imply an undeclared data flow; I cannot verify the specific payload or the exact role of this host.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is under apple.com and is most likely an Apple-operated service endpoint for Apple Maps. No evidence provided establishes a data flow beyond the app's label, so undisclosed cannot be determined.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain is owned by Apple and hosts infrastructure for Apple Location Services, making this a first-party connection for the Apple Maps app. Functional first-party network traffic for core app features does not indicate undisclosed data sharing.
