← Measured in the wild

stocks-data-service.apple.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

stocks-data-service.apple.com is a subdomain of apple.com, and the app is Apple's own built-in Stocks app (com.apple.stocks), so this is a first-party endpoint apparently serving the app's core function of fetching quote data. Because Apple's preinstalled apps do not carry a conventional App Store privacy label and none was supplied here, there is no declared-scope baseline to contradict, so I cannot conclude the contact is undisclosed.

OpenAI — first-party

The domain is under apple.com and is plausibly an Apple-operated service used by the Apple Stocks app. No evidence is provided that this contact transmits data beyond fetching stock data, so undisclosed collection or sharing cannot be determined.

Google Gemini — first-party

The domain stocks-data-service.apple.com is owned by Apple and provides first-party functionality to fetch stock data for the Apple Stocks app. Standard first-party functional requests do not inherently constitute an undisclosed data collection flow without evidence of personal data tracking.

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 Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it.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