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
googleapis.com is Google's own API infrastructure, and Gmail is published by Google, so taskassist-pa.googleapis.com is a first-party backend endpoint (the '-pa' suffix denotes an internal/private API; I do not know with certainty which specific product feature 'taskassist' serves). The app's label already declares broad first-party collection including emails, app interactions, and user IDs, so this contact does not imply an undeclared data flow.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is under googleapis.com and is most likely a Google-operated API endpoint used by Gmail. The provided privacy label declares broad collection categories that cover likely Gmail data flows, so this contact is not clearly undisclosed.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain taskassist-pa.googleapis.com is an API endpoint operated by Google for Task Assist functionality within the Gmail app, making it a first-party service. This contact aligns with standard first-party app functionality and the app's declared data collection.
