FAQ

Before you scale

Does it scrape the entire store?

No. It works from an app ID or URL and the limits and filters you configure.

Does a negative review prove a bug exists?

No. Treat it as a research signal and verify grouped cases against support or telemetry.

Can I republish personal data?

Minimize data, retain only what is necessary and follow applicable rules and source terms.
