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
venue-image.waze.com is a subdomain of waze.com, the app's own domain (Waze, part of Google), and the name suggests it serves venue/place imagery for the map — a first-party content endpoint rather than a third-party tracker. Nothing here implies a data flow beyond the app's declared collection of location, app interactions, and user-generated content, so it does not appear undisclosed.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is a waze.com subdomain and most likely serves Waze venue imagery, making it first-party. The provided privacy label already declares collection of relevant location, search, interaction, and user-content categories, so this contact alone does not establish an undisclosed flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
venue-image.waze.com is a subdomain of the app's primary domain (waze.com), indicating a first-party infrastructure endpoint used to deliver venue images within the application.
