Privacy-first standards

Recovery software should respect the customer's files before it tries to recover them.

Old libraries, databases, backups, and mind maps can contain names, photos, messages, business records, locations, and years of private history. High Caliber's default standard is local-first inspection, minimal data collection, careful support intake, and honest limits.

Static policy draft. No live forms, uploads, analytics, customer database, payment provider, phone route, or support system are connected. Public static page is live; interactive systems remain approval-gated.

Default posture

Keep customer files on the customer's machine where practical.

Customer data minimisation

Ask only for what is needed for the next useful step.

Sales pagesProduct fit first

Explain file types, outputs, platforms, and known limitations before asking for any contact details.

SupportNon-sensitive diagnostics first

Start with app name, version, operating system, issue category, error text, and a generated report where available.

CommerceProvider-led payment data

When approved, payment, receipts, licences, and downloads should be handled through the approved provider route, not a custom static form.

Honest recovery claims

Useful recovery is not the same as complete recovery.

High Caliber should never imply that every file, record, message, photo, field, note, or backup item can be recovered. Legacy data recovery depends on source condition, format variants, encryption, missing linked files, corruption, operating-system changes, and user permissions.

Better wording is practical and trustworthy: inspect, identify, export where supported, document unsupported cases, preserve originals, and make the result easy to review.
