"about": {
"about_title": "Why we built this",
"about": "Our story started with a wedding shoot where a formatted SD card threatened irreplaceable moments. The glossy promises from software sites didn’t match reality. So we began testing tools on real devices, from APFS Macs to NTFS desktops and camera cards. We built repeatable scenarios: deleted files, quick formats, corrupt partitions, and SD card errors. Then we documented safe steps before any scan and tracked measurable outcomes. Today, our reviews are practical, transparent, and focused on protecting data first. If you’re staring at an empty folder or a scary prompt, we’ve been there—and we wrote the guide we wished we had.",

"faq": {
"faq_items": [
{
"question": "Which recovery tool is actually the best?",
"answer": "There’s no universal winner. Results vary by scenario, filesystem, and device. Our rankings show typical outcomes per case—deleted files, quick formats, corrupt partitions, SD card failures—so you choose based on evidence, not marketing."
},
{
"question": "Why not just download a free recovery app?",
"answer": "Free tools can work but often skip safety guidance, filesystem nuances, and verification steps. If a free scan fails or writes to the device, you risk lowering success. We outline safe workflows and where paid tools typically outperform."
},
{
"question": "Do you store or access my files?",
"answer": "No. We’re a review and guidance site—your data stays on your devices. Our steps emphasize read-only mounts and verifiable previews. We never ask for recovered files or access credentials."
},
{
"question": "Will the Pro Guides pay for themselves?",
"answer": "Readers typically save $20–$40 avoiding the wrong license and recover faster, cutting rework time. If you value time, reduced risk, and clear verification, Pro pays for itself on the first recovery attempt."
},
{
"question": "Is this right for me if I’m non-technical?",
"answer": "Yes, our guides are plain-language with screenshots. It might NOT be for you if you’re dealing with physical hardware damage (clicking drives, water) or forensics—seek a certified lab to avoid permanent loss."
},
{
"question": "Do you have affiliate relationships?",
"answer": "Yes. We may earn commissions from Stellar, EaseUS, Recoverit, Disk Drill, Remo Recover, and others. This supports testing and content. We disclose policies and keep benchmarks transparent and scenario-based."
},
{
"question": "How fast can I see first results?",
"answer": "Most readers reach validated previews in 30–60 minutes after safety steps. Complex cases take longer, but starting correctly avoids overwriting and keeps options open."
},
{
"question": "Mac vs Windows—any major differences?",
"answer": "Yes. APFS behavior, mounting tools, and TRIM settings differ. Our platform-specific guides translate these details into practical steps so you avoid misapplying Windows advice to macOS, and vice versa."
},
{
"question": "What if a vendor refuses a refund?",
"answer": "We track refund windows and support experiences. Our strategy tips include testing with previews before purchase and documenting outcomes. Many readers avoid regret by selecting the right license first."
},

"question": "Can I contact you for a tricky case?",
"answer": "Absolutely. Use the contact form for guidance. We respond within 24 hours and point you to the safest next step or professional lab options if needed."
