This report was made on April 4, 2026 for v7.28.1 of Amex. SDKs and permissions were found by downloading the app from the Apple App Store and inspecting publicly accessible metadata: the bundle's Frameworks directory, Info.plist, and entitlements. No code was decompiled, decrypted, or reverse engineered. Data use disclosures are self-reported by the developer to Apple. The presence of an SDK in the app bundle does not necessarily mean it is active or transmitting data at runtime. This report reflects what was found at the time of analysis and may not reflect subsequent updates.
