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. 2 of 3 models answered, overall confidence high — no answer from anthropic (HTTP 529). A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.

OpenAI — first-party

The domain is a googleapis.com endpoint and is most likely operated by Google for a Google Authenticator service. The label declares collection of several relevant data categories, so this contact alone does not establish an undisclosed data flow.

Google Gemini — first-party

The domain passbox-pa.googleapis.com is an official Google API endpoint used by Google Authenticator for first-party cloud sync functionality. Because the app developer and domain owner are the same entity, this contact represents standard first-party traffic rather than undisclosed third-party 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 Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it.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).
