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. 2 of 3 models answered, overall confidence low — classification split: anthropic=first-party, openai=unknown · no answer from gemini (parse). A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — first-party
webproxy.advp.apple.com is a subdomain of apple.com, the same publisher as the app bundle com.apple.news, so this is most likely first-party Apple infrastructure; the 'advp' label hints at an advertising-platform proxy but I cannot confirm that function or any specific service from the data given. Because the declared label is empty and the contact is to the app publisher's own domain, I cannot establish an undisclosed third-party data flow, so undisclosed is false.
OpenAI — unknown
The domain is under apple.com, but the provided data does not establish its specific function or ownership. With no evidence of what data was transmitted, undisclosed collection or sharing cannot be determined.
