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
mzstatic.com is Apple's static media/asset host used to serve App Store artwork and metadata, so this is a first-party CDN contact for the App Store app itself. Fetching display assets does not imply a data flow beyond the app's own core function, and Apple's first-party apps are not covered by third-party store labels in the same way, so nothing here appears undisclosed.
OpenAI — cdn
The mzstatic.com domain is commonly used for Apple-hosted static content, consistent with a CDN or asset-delivery endpoint. No evidence provided shows a data flow beyond content delivery, so undisclosed collection cannot be determined.
Google Gemini — cdn
mzstatic.com is Apple's content delivery network used to serve static media assets for Apple services such as the App Store. Serving basic app store assets via a CDN is necessary operational infrastructure and does not represent undisclosed tracking or data collection.
