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
googleapis.com is Google's own API host domain and the app is published by Google, so reach-pa.googleapis.com is a first-party backend endpoint; I do not know the specific service behind the 'reach-pa' subdomain (the '-pa' pattern is commonly used for Google's internal/private API endpoints), so its exact function is uncertain. The app's label already declares broad first-party collection, so this contact does not on its face imply an undeclared data flow.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is under googleapis.com and is most likely a Google-operated service endpoint used by Google Gemini. The app declares extensive collection categories, so this contact alone does not imply a data flow outside its label.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain googleapis.com is owned and operated by Google, the developer of Google Gemini, making this a first-party connection. Because this is a first-party backend service and the app discloses extensive data collection, there is no indication of undisclosed data practices.
