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
mobilemaps.googleapis.com is a Google-operated googleapis.com API endpoint serving map tile/routing requests, making it first-party for Google's own Maps app. The app's label already declares collecting precise/approximate location, device IDs, app interactions and diagnostics, so this contact implies no data flow beyond what is disclosed.
OpenAI — first-party
mobilemaps.googleapis.com is a Google API domain and is plausibly a first-party service endpoint for Google Maps. The label declares extensive collection categories, so this contact alone does not imply an undeclared data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain mobilemaps.googleapis.com is part of Google's standard API infrastructure used directly by Google Maps, making it a first-party endpoint for essential app functionality.
