Privacy Policy — MECH IDLE
Effective Date: February 24, 2026 Last Updated: February 24, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how MECH IDLE (“we,” “us,” or “our”), operated by 100kSTADIUM, collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website.
1. Who We Are
MECH IDLE is operated by 100kSTADIUM, based in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach us at info@mechidel.com.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide
The only personal information we actively collect is your email address, and only when you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter. We do not collect names, phone numbers, payment information, or any other personal identifiers through our website.
2.2 Information Automatically Collected
When you visit MECH IDLE, certain technical data may be automatically collected by the services we use (detailed in Section 4), including your IP address, browser type, device type, and general geographic location. We do not collect this data directly — it is handled by third-party services operating on our site.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the email address you provide exclusively to:
- Send our newsletter (updates, announcements, and content related to MECH IDLE)
- Respond to messages you send us through our contact form
We do not use your email for advertising, profiling, or sale to third parties. Ever.
4. Third-Party Services
Our website integrates several third-party services. Each operates under its own privacy policy and may collect data independently when you interact with or load content from them.
4.1 Google Fonts
We use Google Fonts to display typography on our site. When a page loads, your browser may make a request to Google’s servers to retrieve font files. Google may collect your IP address and browser information as part of this request.
Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
4.2 Hostinger Reach
We use Hostinger Reach to power our newsletter signup form and email automation. When you submit your email address through our contact or newsletter form, that information is stored and processed by Hostinger Reach. Hostinger Reach handles delivery of our newsletter emails.

4.3 YouTube Embedded Videos
Some pages on MECH IDLE may include videos embedded from YouTube. When you visit a page with an embedded YouTube video, YouTube may set cookies on your device and collect data such as your IP address and viewing behavior, even if you do not play the video. This data is collected by Google/YouTube and is subject to their privacy policy.
Google/YouTube Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
To limit YouTube’s data collection, we recommend using browser extensions that block tracking if this is a concern for you.
4.4 X (Twitter) and Discord — External Links
Our website contains links that redirect to our official pages on X (formerly Twitter) and Discord. These are outbound links only — clicking them takes you to those external platforms. We do not embed feeds or share your data with X or Discord. Once you leave our site, those platforms’ own privacy policies apply.

5. Newsletter Subscription
Subscribing to our newsletter is entirely voluntary. By submitting your email address:
- You consent to receiving periodic emails from MECH IDLE
- You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in every email
- Your email address is stored by Hostinger Reach on our behalf
- We do not share your email with any other party
We comply with the Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), which means we will only send you emails you have explicitly opted into, and we will always provide a clear and easy way to opt out.
6. Cookies
We do not operate our own cookie system. However, third-party services on our site (Google Fonts, YouTube) may set cookies on your device as described in Section 4. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time.
7. Data Storage and Security
Email addresses collected through our newsletter form are stored securely by Hostinger Reach on servers located in North America. We do not store personal data on our own servers beyond what is necessary to operate the contact form and newsletter. We take reasonable steps to ensure your data is handled securely, though no method of internet transmission is 100% secure.
8. Your Privacy Rights
8.1 Canadian Users (PIPEDA)
Under Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, request corrections, and withdraw consent for its use. To exercise these rights, contact us at info@mechidel.com.
8.2 US Users
We do not sell personal information. California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA to know what data is collected, request deletion, and opt out of sale (which we do not engage in).
8.3 How to Exercise Your Rights
Email us at info@mechidel.com with your request. We will respond within 30 days. The only personal data we are likely to hold about you is your email address if you subscribed to our newsletter — you may request its deletion at any time.
9. Children’s Privacy
MECH IDLE is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has submitted their information to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

MECH IDLE is operated from Canada and is primarily intended for visitors in Canada and the United States. If you access our site from outside these countries, please be aware that your data may be processed in Canada in accordance with Canadian privacy law.
