FetchKosh ("the app") is a download manager for Android made by the Kosh team. This policy explains what happens to your information when you use it.
None. FetchKosh does not collect, store on our servers, sell or share any personal information. The app has no account, no sign-in, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. We do not run any server that the app reports to.
The files you download (saved in Download/FetchKosh).
Your download list and settings (stored inside the app).
How much mobile data FetchKosh used today, for the daily limit you can set.
The TVs and PCs you allowed to connect (their names and a pairing key).
The videos, photos, music and other files you chose to share with your TV (only a link to each file you picked; the files are not copied or uploaded).
Uninstalling the app removes the list, settings and allowed devices. Downloaded files stay in your Downloads folder until you delete them.
FetchKosh connects only to the websites you choose: the links you paste, share or copy, pages you open in the built-in browser, and the speed test server when you start a speed test. When you use Watch on TV, Phone 5G for your PC or Send to PC, it also connects to your own TV or PC on your Wi-Fi network. Those websites receive the normal information any browser sends (such as your IP address). For downloads started in the built-in browser, the site's cookies are sent back to that same site so downloads that need you to be signed in keep working. Cookies are kept in memory and are not saved by FetchKosh. Google Drive links are opened the same way, directly with Google Drive.
FetchKosh can use your mobile data together with Wi-Fi. You can turn this off or set a daily limit in Settings.
When you tap Speed test, FetchKosh downloads test data from Cloudflare's speed test server (speed.cloudflare.com) for about 10 seconds, over Wi-Fi and, if allowed in Settings, mobile data, to measure your speed and ping. Like any website, Cloudflare receives your IP address and the request; FetchKosh sends nothing else. The result is shown only on your phone and is not saved or shared. Mobile data used by the test counts toward your daily limit. Cloudflare's privacy policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/
While FetchKosh is open, it checks whether the text you copied is a download link, so it can offer to download it. This check happens only on your phone; the copied text is not saved or sent anywhere.
When you turn on "Share with TV", your phone announces itself on your home Wi-Fi network with its device name, so FetchKosh on your Android TV can find it. A TV can connect only after you approve it with a code shown on the TV, or after you scan the QR code on that TV. The TV then plays the videos, music and photos you chose, directly from your phone over your local Wi-Fi. Other files you choose (such as apps or documents) are copied to the TV only when you select them on the TV, into its Download/FetchKosh folder. Nothing is sent over the internet and nothing is sent to us.
So your TVs recognize this phone even after FetchKosh is reinstalled, the phone tells them an ID made from the ID Android gives FetchKosh on this phone. It is only sent to TVs on your Wi-Fi, never over the internet or to us.
The TV shows a QR code. When you tap "Scan the code on your TV", Google's code scanner (part of Google Play services) reads it. The camera picture stays with Google Play services on your phone; FetchKosh only receives the text of the code and does not get access to your camera. Google may collect diagnostic information about the scanner under Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. FetchKosh then tells the TV, over your Wi-Fi, how to reach this phone and that it is allowed.
When you turn on "Phone 5G for your PC", FetchKosh on your own Windows PC can use your phone's mobile data as one more connection for its downloads, like a hotspot used by one app. Your phone announces itself on your home Wi-Fi so the PC can find it, and a PC can connect only after you approve it with a code. The PC's download traffic passes through your phone to the websites the PC downloads from; secure (HTTPS) connections stay encrypted end to end, so your phone cannot read them. FetchKosh counts how much data your PC used today so the daily limit applies. You can remove an allowed PC at any time.
When Phone 5G for your PC is on, you can send files and links between this phone and your own Windows PC on the same Wi-Fi network: Share → Send to PC, the Send files button, Download on PC, or Send to phone on the PC.
Only the files and links you choose are sent.
They go straight from one device to the other over your home Wi-Fi network (through your router). They are not uploaded to the internet, to us or to anyone else, and no mobile data is used.
Only PCs you approved with a code can send files to this phone or receive files from it. Devices you haven't approved can't use this, even on the same Wi-Fi.
Files from your PC are saved in Download/FetchKosh on this phone. Files from this phone are saved in the download folder FetchKosh uses on your PC.
A link you send with Download on PC is downloaded by your PC from that website, like any download you start on the PC.
Internet, network state and changing network state: to download over Wi-Fi and mobile data at the same time.
Notifications: to show download progress, finished downloads, and when sharing with your TV or PC is on.
Foreground service (data sync and connected device): to keep downloads, TV sharing and Phone 5G for your PC running while you use other apps.
Wake lock: so a running download doesn't stop when the screen turns off.
Run at startup: to continue downloads you started after the phone restarts.
Storage (Android 9 only, for example on older TVs): to save files in Download/FetchKosh. Android 10 and newer don't need it, so FetchKosh doesn't ask for it there. FetchKosh doesn't read or change any other files with it.
FetchKosh does not ask for access to your contacts, location, camera or microphone, or for access to all of your files on Android 10 and newer. Files are shared with your TV only after you pick them with Android's own file picker.
FetchKosh is not directed at children under 13.
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
