← Measured in the wild

gz.gstatic.com

classified as cdn · 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 — cdn

gstatic.com is Google's static-asset hosting domain, so gz.gstatic.com is a Google-owned CDN endpoint contacted by Google's own app (first-party CDN); the specific purpose of the 'gz' subdomain is not something I can verify. Static resource fetching from the app's own publisher does not imply a data flow beyond the app's extensive declared collection, so this does not appear undisclosed.

OpenAI — cdn

gz.gstatic.com is a Google static-content domain commonly used to deliver application resources. The provided privacy label already declares extensive collection categories, and the contact alone does not establish an undeclared data flow.

Google Gemini — cdn

gz.gstatic.com is a Google-owned static content delivery network (CDN) domain used to serve app assets. As first-party infrastructure for a Google app, routine asset fetching does not imply an undisclosed 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 Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it.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).
