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-operated infrastructure for serving user content such as images and attachments, so for a Google-published app it functions as a first-party content delivery host rather than a third-party tracker; the 'lh7-rt' subdomain specifically appears to be an image/content-serving endpoint, which I can characterize by pattern but not verify from documentation here. Content retrieval by the app's own vendor is consistent with the declared collection of photos, files and docs, and emails, so nothing here implies an undisclosed data flow.
OpenAI — cdn
The googleusercontent.com domain is commonly used by Google to serve user and application content, and this hostname appears consistent with content delivery. Gmail declares collection of broad relevant categories including emails, files, photos, and diagnostics, so the contact alone does not imply an uncovered flow.
Google Gemini — cdn
lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com is a Google-owned content delivery domain used to serve user media and app assets for Google services. Because Gmail is developed by Google, this first-party CDN traffic aligns with the app's standard functionality and declared data types.
