Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 15, 2026

First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. and its affiliates in the United States (collectively, “FIRT,” “we,” or “us”) are committed to protecting your privacy and security. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information from our websites and online features, including property search, employment application, and contact features that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Sites”). We respect your right to privacy when you use our Sites, communicate with us electronically, or otherwise provide us with your Personal Information.

This Privacy Policy is intended to provide notice of our information practices. By using the Sites or otherwise providing Personal Information to us, you acknowledge that your Personal Information will be collected, used, and disclosed as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Sites or provide Personal Information to us.

Notice at Collection for California Consumers: If you are located in California, please review our Privacy Notice for California Residents appended as a supplement to this Policy.

  1. Information We Collect 

“Personal Information” refers to any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual.

The Personal Information we collect about you depends on your relationship and interactions with us. We may collect Personal Information directly from you, automatically through tracking technologies on our Sites, from third parties that provide information with your authorization or on your behalf, and from other third-party sources. The Personal Information we may collect includes the following:

  • Contact details such as name, email address, phone number, and address;
  • Website tracking data, such as IP address, referring URL, device ID, web browser characteristics, and date and time of activity;
  • Property search and inquiry information, such as property preferences, search criteria, contact-form submissions, and details about properties or services that may interest you;
  • Job applicant information, if you apply for employment with us, including contact information, resume, employment history, education history, government identification (e.g., Social Security number), and background check information;
  • Protected classification characteristics, to the extent voluntarily provided by job applicants or otherwise required for employment-related compliance;
  • Commercial information, such as records of property inquiries, services requested, or payment history, where applicable; and
  • Inferences drawn from any of the information listed above to understand website usage, preferences, characteristics, behavior, or interests.

We may also collect Personal Information automatically using various tracking technologies, such as cookies, on our Sites. The information collected by these tracking technologies may include IP address, referring URL, device ID, web browser characteristics, and date and time of activity. See further information in the section below.

If you provide us Personal Information relating to other individuals, you warrant that you have the authority to do so, and where required, have obtained the necessary consent, and acknowledge that it may be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

  1. Online Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (collectively referred to as “cookies”) to collect user activity information, including browsing activities and preferences. Based on the cookies currently active on our Sites, we use the following types of cookies:

  • Strictly Necessary and Functional Cookies. These cookies are essential to the operation of our Sites or remember your preferences. They include cookies that remember your cookie consent choices and security cookies (such as Google reCAPTCHA) that protect our forms from automated spam submissions. These cookies do not collect information for marketing purposes.
  • Analytics and Performance Cookies. These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Sites, including which pages are visited, how visitors navigate the Sites, how visitors interact with individual pages (such as where they click and how far they scroll), and site performance metrics such as page load speed and errors. We use tools such as Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity, and New Relic for these purposes. This information helps us understand website usage, measure the effectiveness of our content, and improve site performance.
  • Marketing and Targeting Cookies. Certain cookies on our Sites are classified as marketing or targeting cookies because they are associated with third-party advertising networks. For example, some cookies set by Microsoft Clarity are linked to the Microsoft/Bing advertising network and may be used to deliver more relevant advertising or to support cross-context behavioral advertising. These cookies may constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of Personal Information under applicable privacy laws.

You can opt out of Analytics and Performance, and Marketing and Targeting cookies at any time by clicking “Decline” on our cookie banner or by clicking the “Your Privacy Choices” or “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link at the bottom of the Sites, where available. Your ability to opt out does not extend to external or third-party websites that are accessible through the Sites; please see the below section on “Links to Other Websites” for more information on third-party websites. 

Our Sites’ cookie management tool is configured to honor opt-out preference signals sent by Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) within your browser. Please note that due to technical limitations, the GPC signal may only be recognized within your current browser. For more information on GPC, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org.

Some internet browsers have “Do Not Track” or “DNT” features which, when turned on, send a signal to a website that the individual visiting the website does not wish to be tracked. Such browser features and industry standards are not uniform, so our Sites do not respond to DNT signals, but you can control your cookie preferences in the settings of your internet browser. Please note that if you block or reject cookies on our Sites, some functionality of the Sites may be limited.

  1. Information Use

We process Personal Information for a variety of purposes, including to:

  • Respond to inquiries and communicate with investors, brokers, tenants, prospective tenants, job applicants, website visitors, and other individuals who contact us;

  1. Information Disclosure

We disclose Personal Information in the following ways:

  • To respond to law enforcement requests or where required by applicable laws, court orders, or government regulations;
  • To third parties as deemed necessary to comply with legal requirements or to establish or exercise our legal rights to defend against legal claims; or

You may opt out of receiving email marketing communications from us by clicking the unsubscribe link included in our emails or by emailing us at marketing@FIRT.com. Please note that we may still send you transactional and administrative emails even if you opt out of marketing communications.

Additionally, if you visit our Sites with the Global Privacy Control opt-out preference signal enabled, if required by law, that signal will be treated as a request to opt out of “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising. Please note that your request may apply only to the browser or device from which you submit the request. Learn more about the Global Privacy Control at https://globalprivacycontrol.org.
  • Right to Appeal. In some circumstances, we may deny your request to exercise one of your privacy rights described in this Privacy Policy (e.g., if we cannot verify your identity).

We will notify you of our decision regarding your appeal in writing via an email within 45 days of receipt. If we deny your appeal, you may have the right to contact your state Attorney General to file a complaint.

We may use inferences for website analytics, marketing personalization, and similar business purposes, but we do not engage in profiling activities that further automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects.

Additionally, we do not use automated decision-making technology (ADMT) to make significant decisions about you.

Requests to exercise these rights may be made by contacting us at info@firt.com or at the mailing address listed at the end of this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise described in this section.

We may need to verify your identity before processing your request, including by asking you to provide information that allows us to match your request to the information we maintain about you.

You may designate an authorized agent to submit certain privacy requests on your behalf where permitted by applicable law, and we may require proof of the agent’s authority and verification of your identity.

We will not unlawfully discriminate or retaliate against you for exercising privacy rights available to you under applicable law.

  1. Information About Children

The Sites are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information via the Sites from children under 13. If you believe that we have unintentionally collected Personal Information about your child, you can contact us by mail or email as described below.

  1. Security

FIRT takes reasonable steps to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. You should know that no internet or mobile-device transmission or storage system is completely secure or error-free. Although we take reasonable measures to protect Personal Information, we cannot guarantee that it will be 100% secure.

  1. Retention of Personal Information

We retain Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to operate the Sites, respond to inquiries, administer property-search and contact features, evaluate job applicants, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect our legal rights. The specific retention period depends on the nature of the information, the context in which it was collected, applicable legal requirements, and our business needs. We may also maintain for an indefinite period of time certain information that has been de-identified. This information is no longer considered Personal Information, and we commit not to attempt to reidentify such information.

  1. Links to Other Websites

The Sites may contain links or references to other websites or online services to which this Privacy Policy does not apply, including third-party investor relations resources or other external websites. In addition, certain pages and features on the Sites are operated by third parties and are not controlled by us. For example, the Property Finder feature links to a property search widget operated by Buildout, a third-party service provider. Similarly, the Investor page is hosted and operated by Notified, a third-party provider of investor relations services. In addition, the Work Orders button on the Tenants page, which is used to submit maintenance requests, is operated by Corrigo, a third-party service provider. These third-party pages and widgets are subject to the privacy policies and practices of their respective operators, and not this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website, widget, or online service you visit or use, including those referenced above.

SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICE

PRIVACY NOTICE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
Effective Date: July 27, 2026

This Privacy Notice for California Residents supplements the information contained in the FIRT Privacy Policy above (“Privacy Policy”), and applies only to California residents (“you,” “your,” or “consumer”). This section provides additional disclosures for residents of California, as required by the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended (the “CCPA”). Please remember that the information we collect varies based on our relationship with you and note that certain Personal Information or activities may not be reflected in this section because they are exempt from the CCPA.

  1. CCPA Categories of Personal Information We Collect, How and Why We Collect Them 

We collect the following categories of Personal Information about California consumers. This information may be, or may have been, collected directly from you, automatically when you use our Sites, from third parties, or from publicly available sources.

  • Identifiers, including real name, alias, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, IP address, email address, account name, Social Security number, or other similar identifiers.
  • Personal Information described in Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e), including name, signature, address, telephone number, education, employment, employment history, bank account information, other financial information, or health insurance information, where applicable.
  • Characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law, including age and date of birth, gender, medical condition, or disability, where applicable. Additional protected classification characteristics may also be collected from job applicants, such as veteran status, race, or ethnicity, where voluntarily provided or required for employment-related compliance.
  • Commercial information, including records of properties or services considered, property inquiries, requested services, payment history, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies, where applicable.

  • Inferences used to understand preferences, characteristics, behavior, attitudes, abilities, and interests, including inferences related to website usage and marketing personalization.

We use the Personal Information we collect for the purposes described in the Information Use section of our Privacy Policy.

We do not offer financial incentives in exchange for the collection, retention, sale, or sharing of Personal Information.

We disclose the categories of Personal Information described above to the categories of recipients described in the Information Disclosure section above, including affiliates, service providers and contractors, analytics and advertising partners, social media companies, professional advisers, government authorities, and transaction counterparties, as applicable.

  1. CCPA Categories of Personal Information Sold or Shared

Under the CCPA, a “sale” of Personal Information includes disclosures of Personal Information to third parties who may use the information for their own purposes, such as analytics and advertising partners. Similarly, “sharing” Personal Information refers to disclosing Personal Information to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. Per these definitions, certain digital analytics and advertising activities may constitute a sale and/or sharing of the following categories of Personal Information to third-party analytics and advertising partners:

  • Identifiers
  • Commercial information
  • Internet or other electronic network activity information
  • Geolocation data
  • Inferences

California residents should refer to the Your Privacy Rights section of our Privacy Policy for information regarding their privacy rights under the CCPA and how to exercise them.

You have the right to direct us not to share, disclose, or sell your Personal Information. To exercise this right, you or your authorized representative may submit a request by clicking the “Your Privacy Choices” or “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on the Sites, where available, or by contacting us as described below.

California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Sites that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
