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
play.googleapis.com is a Google-operated domain and is most likely used for Google Play-related app services. The label already declares broad collection categories including device IDs, diagnostics, and app interactions, so this contact alone does not establish an undisclosed flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
play.googleapis.com is operated by Google, the developer of Google Authenticator, making this a first-party infrastructure endpoint. The interaction does not suggest undisclosed third-party data sharing or unlisted collection.
