Product

What is Registry Rescue?

Registry Rescue is an organizational tool that turns registry information you confirm into a deterministic review, visible evidence and scope, and a prioritized game plan.

How does Registry Rescue review my registry?

The app reads selected screenshots locally, asks you to confirm the import draft, and applies versioned application rules to the confirmed facts. Missing or uncertain details do not silently become facts.

Do I need to upload my entire registry?

No. Choose the screenshots you want to review. The result is limited to the confirmed information and supported areas available in that import; it is not a completeness guarantee.

Why do I need to confirm imported items?

Screenshot text recognition and parsing can be incomplete or wrong. Confirmation keeps a draft from being treated as canonical registry data without your review.

What happens if Registry Rescue misses an item?

Add it manually or try a clearer screenshot. A missed item remains outside the review until you add and confirm it.

Can I add an item manually?

Yes. You can add and review a missing item during import.

Does Registry Rescue guarantee my registry is complete?

No. Registry Rescue reviews only supported areas and confirmed facts. It cannot guarantee completeness, retailer compatibility, or that a product is appropriate or safe for a particular family.

Is Registry Rescue affiliated with Amazon, Babylist, Walmart, Target, or another retailer?

No. Registry Rescue is not affiliated with, sponsored by, integrated with, or endorsed by those retailers. It does not claim Target or any other retailer compatibility.

Do I need a Registry Rescue account?

No. V1 does not require a user account. Apple and RevenueCat may use pseudonymous commerce identifiers when purchases are activated, but those identifiers are not a Registry Rescue login.

Privacy

What happens to my screenshots?

Selected images are copied into protected app-owned temporary storage, processed locally, and removed after confirmation, cancellation, deletion, or bounded abandoned-file cleanup. They are not a remote registry archive.

Does Registry Rescue send my screenshots to AI?

No. Raw registry screenshots are excluded from the AI request.

What information can AI receive?

For eligible paid AI explanations, a bounded set of sanitized semantic facts and a deterministic claim ledger may be sent through Registry Rescue’s Cloudflare service and AI routing providers. Raw OCR, registry URLs, product titles/descriptions, screenshots, and free-form registry content are excluded. Some semantic context can describe parent or feeding-plan choices; review the Privacy Policy for details.

Does Registry Rescue track me for advertising?

No. The intended V1 architecture has no advertising SDK, IDFA use, cross-app advertising tracking, or data-broker sharing.

Can I turn analytics off?

Yes. Anonymous product analytics are a separate, default-off setting. In the app, open Settings & trust and turn off Share anonymous product analytics. Analytics may be unavailable entirely in some builds.

Registry Review

What do the findings mean?

A finding is an organizational observation produced by deterministic application logic from supported confirmed facts. It is not a diagnosis, safety verdict, or retailer recommendation.

Is Registry Rescue medical or pediatric advice?

No. Use qualified medical or pediatric professionals for health and care decisions, and follow current manufacturer instructions.

Does Registry Rescue certify that a product is safe?

No. It does not test, certify, recall-check, or guarantee the safety of any product.

What is Evidence & Scope?

Evidence & Scope shows the confirmed basis for a supported finding and the boundaries of what the review could establish.

What is Game Plan?

Game Plan is an organized summary of supported priorities from the deterministic review. It is not a prescribed care plan.

What are Next Moves?

Next Moves are up to three prioritized organizational actions grounded in the supported review—not urgency, medical advice, or a mandate to buy.

Re-check

Can I review my registry again after it changes?

Yes, when your access permits it. A re-check lets you confirm changed information before a new deterministic review replaces the current one.

What happens to an older review?

Completed older reviews remain in local history until the registry or all local app data is deleted. An incomplete re-check does not silently become the current review.

Billing

What is Weekly Registry Review?

It is a one-week auto-renewable subscription that lets you keep re-checking the registry as it changes. The App Store displays the localized price. It renews weekly until canceled.

What is Full Registry Pass?

It is a one-time, non-consumable purchase for re-checking whenever the registry changes, subject to the app’s supported functionality.

Does Weekly renew automatically?

Yes. It renews every one-week period until you cancel through Apple. Apple shows the billed price and manages renewal.

Does buying Full cancel Weekly?

No. Purchasing Full does not automatically cancel an existing Apple Weekly subscription. Manage Weekly separately with Apple to avoid continued renewal.

How do I manage or cancel Weekly?

Choose Manage Weekly Subscription in app settings, or manage subscriptions with Apple (opens in a new tab).

How do I restore a purchase?

Open Settings & trust in Registry Rescue and choose Restore Purchases while using the Apple Account that made the purchase.

How do I request a refund?

Apple controls App Store purchase and refund decisions. Use Apple’s official Report a Problem service (opens in a new tab). Registry Rescue cannot issue or guarantee a refund.

Data

How do I delete a registry?

Open that registry and choose Delete This Local Registry. Confirming removes its associated local products, review history, and AI artifacts.

How do I delete all local Registry Rescue data?

Open Settings & trust, choose Delete All Local Registry Rescue data, and confirm. This removes locally stored registries and owned temporary files and resets local analytics state. It does not promise deletion of Apple or other provider records outside the app’s control.

Does deleting app data cancel my subscription?

No. Deleting one registry, deleting all local app data, or uninstalling the app does not cancel an Apple subscription. Manage Weekly separately.
