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 own video-delivery infrastructure, and the 'rr8---sn-...' hostname pattern is a standard YouTube media/edge server used to stream video content, so this is first-party CDN traffic for the app's core function. No data flow beyond the app's already extensive declared collection is implied, so nothing here appears undisclosed.
OpenAI — cdn
The googlevideo.com domain is commonly used to deliver YouTube video content, and this hostname appears consistent with content delivery infrastructure. The app's label declares collection of videos and related usage data, so the contact alone does not establish an undeclared data flow.
Google Gemini — cdn
googlevideo.com is Google's content delivery network domain used for serving YouTube video streams. This represents first-party content delivery essential to the app's core video functionality and does not indicate undisclosed tracking or data sharing.
