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 medium — classification split: anthropic=first-party, openai=unknown, gemini=first-party. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — first-party
googleapis.com is Google's API hosting domain, and the '-pa' suffix is characteristic of Google's internal/private API endpoints, so for a Google-published app (com.google.Maps) this is a first-party backend contact — most plausibly a security or anti-abuse service, though the specific function of 'securitydomain-pa' is not something I can confirm. The app's label already declares broad collection including device IDs and diagnostics, so this contact does not imply an undeclared data flow.
OpenAI — unknown
The domain is a Google APIs subdomain, but the provided information does not establish its specific function or what data was transmitted. Google Maps declares collection of a broad range of relevant data categories, so this contact alone does not demonstrate an undisclosed flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
securitydomain-pa.googleapis.com is an API endpoint operated by Google, the developer of Google Maps. Because the contact is with the developer's own infrastructure for core service functionality, it is classified as first-party and is not undisclosed.
