MyHordes Auto-Scout — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-08-31

MyHordes Auto-Scout is a browser extension that reports a World Beyond zone's zombie count to Fata Morgana (fatamorgana.md26.eu) automatically when you move away from that zone in MyHordes. This page explains exactly what data the extension touches and where it goes.

There is no backend

The extension has no server of its own. It runs entirely inside your browser and talks directly to two domains: the MyHordes page you're on (read-only, to detect your position and the zombie count already shown on screen) and Fata Morgana (to submit that report). Nothing is sent to the extension's developer, and no analytics or tracking of any kind are included.

What data the extension accesses

• Your MyHordes user key — the key you paste into the extension's panel is stored locally in your browser (chrome.storage.local) and never leaves your device except as described below.
• Your current position and zombie count — read from the MyHordes page's own on-screen text at the moment you click a move arrow. Nothing is scraped continuously or in the background.
• Fata Morgana's session cookie — after logging into Fata Morgana with your MyHordes key, the extension reads and reuses that site's own auth_token cookie so it can authenticate subsequent requests on your behalf, the same way Fata Morgana's own website does.

What gets sent, and to whom

Two things, both directly to fatamorgana.md26.eu, never to any server operated by the extension's developer:

• Your MyHordes user key, to Fata Morgana's own login endpoint — this is how Fata Morgana authenticates you; it independently verifies the key against MyHordes.
• The zone's position and zombie count, to Fata Morgana's own update endpoint — the same report Fata Morgana's website itself would submit if you reported it manually there.

Why each permission is requested

• storage — save your user key and on/off preference locally.
• cookies — read Fata Morgana's session cookie after login so it can be reused on later requests.
• declarativeNetRequest — ensures that session cookie is actually attached to the extension's requests to fatamorgana.md26.eu; browsers don't auto-attach it otherwise for requests originating from an extension's background script. Scoped to that one domain only.
• Host permissions for MyHordes's domains — to run the content script that reads your position/zombie count. For fatamorgana.md26.eu — to submit the report.

Data retention

The only data stored anywhere by the extension is your user key and on/off preference, kept locally in your own browser. Uninstalling the extension removes it. The extension's developer has no access to it and keeps no copy of it.
