taskassist-pa.googleapis.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

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.

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 Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it.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