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
googleusercontent.com is Google's content-hosting/CDN domain (lh* hosts serve images such as profile photos and place imagery), so for a Google-published app this is first-party content delivery rather than third-party tracking. No data flow beyond the app's own extensive declared collection is implied, so nothing here appears undisclosed.
OpenAI — cdn
lh5.googleusercontent.com is a Google-hosted content domain commonly used to serve images and other static resources. The provided label is broad and does not establish that this contact entails an undeclared data flow.
Google Gemini — cdn
The domain lh5.googleusercontent.com is a Google-owned content delivery network used to serve user-generated content and media for Google services. Because Google Maps is a first-party app connecting to Google infrastructure for content delivery, this contact is expected and not undisclosed.
