1. Introduction - back to top^
We take the security and privacy of customer information seriously and are committed to safeguarding your privacy online. As a business, Holywell Engineering Ltd is built on the bedrock of building long term relationships with customers and site visitors.
If you leave, we have failed. So we make every effort not to breech privacy and risk customer offence for short-term financial gain. Your data is about you, Holywell Engineering and how we work together. This brief guide describes how we collect, use and safeguard the information you provide us with when you use our online services.
Personal data is the information you supply that identifies you, for example, your name and address. Anonymous data is information that does not identify you personally, for example, the average length of visit to our site is 12 minutes.
Holywell Engineering's primary reason for collecting personal data is to provide you with a more personalised service. We also collect data so that we can understand and identify our customers/visitors needs. The aim is to make each online experience a better one. Understanding your needs means we are in a better position to meet them, and we can do this by looking at how you use our services/information and products.
Please take a moment to read our Privacy Policy, so you know what choices you have about the information we may ask you for. This policy is updated from time to time, please check back periodically.

We may also ask you for personal details at other times, for example if we run a market research questionnaire, competition or promotion. The majority of this data collection is not compulsory, however.

Holywell Engineering will NEVER provide reports to third parties, for example content partners and advertisers.
We formulate statistical reports - these are anonymous summaries used to monitor the success of our content and advertising, and to help us develop a service in line with customer need. From our statistical reports we can provide general information about our service, for example, ‘4,000 people clicked on an advertisement yesterday’, or ‘26% of our customers are over 34 years old’.
