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

secure-mobile-apps.booking.com is a subdomain of booking.com, the app's own publisher domain, so this is first-party backend/API traffic rather than a third-party tracker. The app's label already declares collecting account, payment, and device identifier data, so this contact implies no data flow beyond what is disclosed.

OpenAI — first-party

The domain is a booking.com subdomain and most likely supports Booking.com's own mobile application services. The privacy label declares broad collection and sharing categories, so this contact alone does not imply an undeclared data flow.

Google Gemini — first-party

The domain secure-mobile-apps.booking.com is a subdomain of booking.com, making it a first-party operational endpoint for the Booking.com app. Because it belongs to the app developer's primary domain, this contact does not represent an undisclosed third-party data flow.

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 Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it.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).
