Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how McNeil Plumbing & Construction Services collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at mcneilplumbing.co.uk. We are committed to transparency and respect for your privacy. This policy applies to all visitors of our informational website, which does not require registration or collect personal data through forms or databases.

Information We Collect

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain technical information through standard web technologies. This includes:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Referring website or search engine
  • Device type and screen resolution

This information is collected anonymously and is not linked to any personally identifiable details.

How We Use Information

The data collected is used solely for the following purposes:

  • To understand how visitors interact with our website
  • To improve website performance and user experience
  • To monitor and maintain website security
  • To generate anonymous statistical reports

We do not use this information to identify individuals, contact visitors, or make decisions about them.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to enhance functionality and collect usage data. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain until deleted).

Cookies help us remember your preferences, analyse traffic patterns, and ensure the website operates smoothly. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of the site.

Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to support our website operations:

  • Google Analytics: To analyse website traffic and user behaviour in an anonymised form. Google’s Privacy Policy applies to its services.
  • Advertising networks: We may use ad networks that serve non-personalised ads based on general website content, not individual profiling.

These third parties may set their own cookies and collect data according to their own privacy policies. We do not control their practices and encourage you to review their policies.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect the data we collect. This includes secure servers, regular system updates, and monitoring for unauthorised access. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • The right to be informed about how your data is used
  • The right to access any data we hold about you
  • The right to request deletion of your data
  • The right to object to processing
  • The right to withdraw consent where applicable

As we do not store personally identifiable information or maintain databases of users, most of these rights do not apply in practice. However, if you believe any data has been incorrectly collected or wish to exercise your rights, please contact us using the details below.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed toward children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under this age. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will take immediate steps to delete it.
