Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 30, 2026

5 Star Realty ("we," "us," or "our") operates this website at 5starrealtyfl.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our site or contact us about real estate services.

We take your privacy seriously. We do not sell your personal information to third parties — ever.

1. Information we collect

We collect information you voluntarily provide when you contact us:

Your name, phone number, and email address
Property details or preferences shared in your message
Any other information you choose to include in a contact form or email

If you accept cookies, we may also collect anonymous website usage data such as pages visited, time on site, and general geographic location (city/region level only). This data is never tied to your name or contact details.

2. How we use your information

We use the information you provide solely to:

Respond to your real estate inquiry, showing request, or valuation question
Follow up about properties or services you asked about
Improve how our website works (analytics only, and only if you consent)

We will never use your information to send unsolicited marketing emails, share it with other businesses, or contact you about anything unrelated to your original inquiry.

3. Cookies and tracking

When you first visit our site, we ask for your permission to use cookies. Here is what each type does:

Essential cookies — Always active. These remember your preference (light or dark theme) and whether you have responded to this cookie notice. They do not track you.
Analytics cookies — Only active if you click "Accept all." These help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. No personal details are collected.

If you click "Decline," only essential cookies are used and no tracking of any kind takes place.

4. Third-party services

Our website uses a small number of third-party tools:

BeachesMLS / FlexMLS — Powers the live property search on our Search MLS page. Their embed is governed by their own privacy policy. We do not control the data collected by their widget.
Google Fonts — Loads typefaces for our site. Google may log the request, but no personal data is sent.
Cloudflare CDN — Delivers animation libraries. Cloudflare may log anonymized request data per their privacy policy.

5. How we protect your information

Any information you send through our contact form is received directly in our email inbox. We do not store contact form submissions in a database. We use standard email security practices and do not retain your data beyond the period needed to assist you.

6. Your rights

You have the right to:

Ask what personal information we hold about you
Request that we delete any information you have shared with us
Withdraw cookie consent at any time using the button above
Opt out of further contact by replying to any email we send you

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We do not sell personal information and do not share it with third parties for commercial purposes, so most CCPA provisions are satisfied by default.

7. Children's privacy

Our site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
