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 domain, so maps.gstatic.com is a first-party CDN serving map tiles/images and other static resources for Google's own app. Asset fetching from the publisher's own CDN implies no data flow beyond what the app's extensive declared collection (including device IDs and location) already covers.
OpenAI — cdn
maps.gstatic.com is a Google static-content domain commonly used to deliver map assets and other resources for Google services. The provided label is broad and does not establish an uncovered data flow from this contact.
Google Gemini — cdn
maps.gstatic.com is owned by Google and serves static assets and content delivery for Google Maps. As a first-party CDN domain used for delivering app assets, this contact does not represent undisclosed tracking or third-party data sharing.
