AskListing, Inc. ("AskListing," "we," "us," or "our") operates the AskListing platform, an AI-powered real estate assistant that enables buyers to get instant answers about property listings via SMS, voice, and web chat, and enables agents and brokerages to capture and manage qualified leads. This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect, how we use and share it, and your rights with respect to that information.

By using our platform (including by texting or calling a listing number, scanning a QR code, submitting a lead capture form, or using the agent dashboard), you agree to this Privacy Policy.

AskListing uses Telnyx to deliver SMS and AI voice communications. Our voice assistant uses AI-generated speech, which is classified as "artificial or prerecorded voice" under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) per FCC Declaratory Ruling FCC 24-17 (February 8, 2024). By submitting your information or initiating contact with a listing, you provide the following consent:

Your mobile phone number will not be sold or shared with third parties for their own promotional or marketing purposes. We share your contact information with the relevant listing agent and brokerage, and with service providers who help us operate the platform (see Section 5).

5. How We Share Your Information

We share information only as described below. We do not sell your personal information.

Agent Data Sovereignty Commitment: AskListing will never use brokerage or agent client data (including leads, buyer conversations, or CRM-synced data) for our own marketing, advertising, or competitive intelligence purposes. Unlike platforms that have been criticized for cross-platform data use, your client data belongs to you and your brokerage. We process it only to deliver the services you subscribed to.

6. AI-Powered Conversations

AskListing uses artificial intelligence to respond to buyer inquiries about property listings. When you text or call a listing number, you are communicating with an AI assistant, not a human agent. Our AI:

Conversations may be escalated to a human agent if the AI cannot answer your question or if the listing agent has configured escalation rules. When an escalation occurs, a human agent will take over the conversation.

Conversation transcripts are stored and shared with the listing agent as part of the lead record. By engaging in a conversation, you consent to this recording and sharing.
