← Measured in the wild

mail.google.com

classified as first-party · 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 — first-party

mail.google.com is Google's own Gmail service endpoint, matching the app's publisher (com.google.Gmail), so this is core first-party functionality. The declared collection already covers emails, user IDs, and account details, so no data flow beyond the label is implied.

OpenAI — first-party

mail.google.com is consistent with Gmail's own email service and the app declares collection of emails and related account data. The provided label covers the likely data flow, so it does not appear undisclosed.

Google Gemini — first-party

mail.google.com is a primary service endpoint owned by Google for its Gmail service, making it a first-party domain for the Gmail app. This contact represents core first-party functional data flow rather than undisclosed third-party tracking or sharing.

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 Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it.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).
