Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Humble Hoarder ("the extension", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use the Humble Hoarder browser extension and visit this website (www.hoardhumbly.com).

Humble Hoarder is a browser extension designed to help users manage, track, and download their purchased digital game bundles from Humble Bundle and similar services. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices.
