Privacy & Security

Fetch Client is built with your privacy and security as top priorities. Your data belongs to you, and it stays with you.

🔒 Zero Data Collection​

Fetch Client does not collect, track, or store any of your personal information or API request data. We don't know what APIs you test, what data you send, or how you use the extension.

What this means for you:

  • No user tracking or analytics
  • No request data sent to external servers
  • No telemetry or usage statistics collected
  • Complete privacy for all your API testing activities

💾 Local Storage Only​

All your data is stored locally on your computer. This includes:

  • API request collections
  • Environment variables
  • Request history
  • Authentication credentials
  • Test configurations

Benefits:

  • You have full control over your data
  • No internet connection required (except for making API calls)
  • Data stays within your machine and workspace

🚫 No Backend Infrastructure​

Fetch Client runs entirely within VS Code without any cloud services or backend systems.

What we don't have:

  • No remote servers storing your data
  • No third-party cloud dependencies
  • No external databases
  • No accounts or login systems required

This design choice ensures your sensitive API keys, tokens, and credentials never leave your computer.

🔓 Open Source Transparency​

Fetch Client is completely open source, which means:

  • Full code transparency for security audits
  • Community-reviewed and maintained
  • No hidden functionality or backdoors
  • You can inspect exactly what the extension does
