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 — cdn
googlevideo.com is Google's video content-delivery infrastructure, and the 'rr4---sn-hp57kndk' hostname pattern matches YouTube's media edge servers, so this is first-party CDN traffic delivering the app's own video content. Core content delivery by the app's own operator implies no data flow beyond what the label already declares.
OpenAI — cdn
The googlevideo.com hostname is commonly used to deliver YouTube video content and appears to be Google infrastructure. The app's label declares extensive collection categories, and the domain contact alone does not establish an undeclared data flow.
Google Gemini — cdn
googlevideo.com is Google's content delivery network used to serve video content for YouTube, representing standard first-party media streaming rather than undisclosed tracking or third-party sharing.
