rt-xlb-am.waze.com

classified as first-party · 2

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

rt-xlb-am.waze.com is a subdomain of waze.com, the app's own domain (Waze, a Google subsidiary), so this is first-party infrastructure — the 'rt' and 'xlb' naming suggests a real-time traffic/load-balancing endpoint, though I cannot confirm its exact function. Location, app interaction and user ID collection by the first party is already covered by the declared label, so nothing here implies an undeclared data flow.

OpenAI — first-party

The domain is a subdomain of waze.com and therefore most likely first-party app infrastructure. The provided privacy label declares broad collection categories and sharing of device or other IDs, so this contact alone does not establish an undeclared data flow.

Google Gemini — first-party

The domain rt-xlb-am.waze.com belongs directly to Waze, making this a first-party communication. First-party network calls for core app functionality do not constitute undisclosed third-party data sharing.

Think something here is wrong?

Evidence and research improve when people push back. Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it. Responses can take up to 30 days.

If you leave an email it is encrypted at rest and opened only to answer you — never shared, never used for anything else. It is erased 30 days after we resolve this (or 180 days if it is still open) without you asking, and you can erase it sooner at any time; either way your correction stays, anonymously. Leave it blank and your request is fully anonymous from the start (we store no IP address either way).
