← Measured in the wild

odf.app-ads-services.com

classified as unknown · 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. 2 of 3 models answered, overall confidence low — classification split: anthropic=unknown, openai=advertising · no answer from gemini (parse). A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.

Anthropic Claude — unknown

The hostname pattern ("app-ads-services") hints at ad-serving infrastructure, but I do not know who owns app-ads-services.com and Apple's label provides no owner, so any specific attribution would be a guess. Even if it is an ad or measurement endpoint, the app already declares collecting and sharing Device or other IDs plus advertising-relevant data, so the observed contact is not demonstrably outside its declared label.

OpenAI — advertising

The domain name indicates an advertising-services endpoint, but no owner information or payload details are provided. The app declares sharing Device or other IDs and In-app search history, so the contact alone does not establish an uncovered data flow.

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 Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it.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