UK GDPR Compliance

McNeil Plumbing & Construction Services is committed to respecting your data protection rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). This page explains how we comply with your rights as a data subject under UK GDPR, even though we do not store personal data in a database or require user registration.

Scope and Applicability

The UK GDPR applies to the processing of personal data of individuals in the UK. While our website is informational and does not collect personal data through forms, registrations, or accounts, we may process limited personal data automatically through website analytics and server logs, such as IP addresses, browser types, and usage patterns, solely for improving site performance and security.

Our website uses strictly necessary and analytical cookies, with user consent obtained via our cookie banner.
