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 medium — classification split: anthropic=first-party, openai=advertising, gemini=first-party. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — first-party
googleapis.com is Google's own API endpoint infrastructure, so for Google's own Search app this is a first-party backend contact; the specific 'xga-serving-pa' service is a Google internal API whose exact function I cannot identify. The app's label already declares collecting a very broad set of data categories, so this contact does not imply a data flow outside what is declared.
OpenAI — advertising
The googleapis.com domain is operated by Google, and the xga-serving-pa hostname appears consistent with Google ad-serving infrastructure. The provided privacy label declares extensive collection but no sharing; the contact alone does not establish an uncovered data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain googleapis.com is owned and operated by Google, making this a first-party service endpoint for the Google app. Because it is a first-party domain and the app declares extensive data collection, this contact does not appear undisclosed.
