Privacy Policy
Effective 25 September 2026
S5 Advisory Inc. ("S5 Advisory," "we," "us") is a tenant-only corporate real estate advisory firm based in Santa Clara, California. This policy explains what personal information we collect through s5cre.com, why we collect it, who helps us process it, and the choices you have. S5 Advisory is the controller of this information.
Information you give us
When you contact us through the form on this site or by email, we collect the information you provide. Depending on how you reach us, that includes:
- Your name and company
- Business email address and phone number
- Details about your real estate requirement, such as market, approximate size, timing, and lease expiration
- Any additional notes you choose to include
We use this information to respond to your inquiry, to provide advisory services, and to follow up about your requirement. We do not sell it.
Contact form submissions are delivered to our email by Formspree, Inc., a form-processing service based in the United States. Formspree receives what you enter in the form, along with technical details of the submission such as your IP address, which it uses to deliver the message and filter spam. See the Formspree Privacy Policy.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our host records basic technical information when you visit, such as IP address, browser and device type, the page requested, and the referring page. This is used to deliver the site and keep it secure.
We use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, services provided by Google LLC, to understand how the site is used. Google Tag Manager is the tool that loads Google Analytics on our pages; it does not itself set analytics cookies. Google Analytics records which sections, articles, case studies and property pages are viewed, how far articles are read, and clicks on links such as email, phone, flyer downloads and external sites, together with general information such as approximate location (city or country), device type, screen size, browser, and how you arrived at the site. Google Analytics does not log or store IP addresses. We do not use Google Analytics for advertising, and we have not enabled its advertising or cross-device features.
Google processes this information on our behalf. See How Google uses information from sites that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy. You can also block Google Analytics on every site with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Cookies and your choices
The site itself works without cookies. The only cookies it uses are set by Google Analytics:
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes one visitor from another, so visits can be counted | 2 years |
_ga_<ID> | Google Analytics | Keeps track of the current visit | 2 years |
s5-consent | This site (stored in your browser, not a cookie) | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies | 12 months |
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland: analytics cookies are off until you choose "Accept analytics" on the cookie notice. If you decline, or make no choice, Google Analytics does not run and no analytics cookies are set.
Visitors elsewhere: analytics cookies are on by default, and you can switch them off at any time.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a choice to decline analytics cookies. You can change your choice at any time; switching analytics off also deletes the Google Analytics cookies from your browser. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and the site will continue to work.
Who we share information with
We do not sell or rent personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate the site and respond to inquiries, and only to the extent they need it:
- Formspree, which delivers contact form submissions to our email
- Google (Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics), for site analytics
- Our website host and email provider
We may also disclose information if required by law, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
International transfers
We are based in the United States, and our service providers process information in the United States and other countries. Where information about visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland is transferred, it is protected by safeguards recognised under data protection law, such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (and its UK and Swiss extensions) or standard contractual clauses.
How long we keep it
We keep inquiry information for as long as needed to respond and to maintain our business records. Google Analytics data is kept for 14 months and then deleted automatically. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.
Your rights in the EEA, UK and Switzerland
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, data protection law (including the GDPR and UK GDPR) applies to our use of your personal information. We rely on:
- Your consent, for analytics cookies. You can withdraw it at any time using the cookie settings above.
- Our legitimate interests in responding to business inquiries and running our firm, or steps you ask us to take before entering into an engagement, for information you send us.
You have the right to access, correct or delete your information, to restrict or object to how we use it, to receive a copy in a portable form, and to withdraw consent. You can also complain to your local data protection authority; in the UK, that is the Information Commissioner's Office. To exercise any of these rights, email info@s5cre.com.
Your California privacy rights
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, gives you the right to:
- Know what personal information we have collected about you and how we use it
- Request a copy of that information
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information — we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by the Act
- Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights
To make a request, email info@s5cre.com. We will verify your request by replying to the email address we hold for you, and we respond within the timeframe required by law.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
This site is intended for business use and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Links to other sites
This site links to other websites, including client and affiliate sites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date above shows when it was last revised.
