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
people-pa.googleapis.com is a Google-operated googleapis.com API endpoint (the People API surface, used for profile/contact data), so for a Google-published app like Google Authenticator this is first-party infrastructure rather than a third-party tracker or ad network. The app's label already declares collecting Contacts, Name, Email address, and User IDs, which covers the data flow this endpoint implies.
OpenAI — first-party
people-pa.googleapis.com is a Google API domain and is most likely first-party for Google Authenticator. The app's label declares multiple relevant categories of collection, so the contact alone does not imply an undisclosed data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
people-pa.googleapis.com is a Google People API endpoint, representing first-party communication for a Google-developed application. The app's store privacy label already declares collecting account and contact details, so this communication does not appear undisclosed.
