Who we are

Ask Patrick is an AI real estate advisor operated by Patrick Dowling. This Privacy Policy describes what data we collect when you use the Ask Patrick web application, the SMS/WhatsApp number, the Telegram bot, or the email inbox, and how we use that data.

What we collect

  • Contact info you provide: name, email address, and phone number when you enter them into our forms, sign up for an account, or purchase a subscription.
  • Message content: the questions you send us (via chat, SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram, or email) and the AI-generated replies we send back. Stored to give the AI continuity between messages.
  • Payment info: processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number — we only receive a Stripe customer ID plus card brand and last 4 digits.
  • Usage data: anonymous analytics via Microsoft Clarity (heatmaps, session replays) to improve the product.
  • Advertising data: if you arrive from a Meta / Facebook ad, we may receive an anonymous click ID (fbclid) used only to measure ad performance.

SMS and WhatsApp messaging

When you text +1 (786) 833-8337 via SMS or WhatsApp, you are initiating a conversation with the Ask Patrick AI. By sending us a message, you consent to receive AI-generated replies to your questions.

  • We only reply to your questions — we do not send unsolicited marketing messages or bulk broadcasts to your number.
  • Message and data rates may apply at your carrier's standard rate.
  • Opt out any time: reply STOP to any message and we will not text you again. Reply HELP for assistance.
  • Message frequency depends on how often you ask — you control the pace.

  • Mobile information and messaging consent will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. No mobile opt-in data is ever sold, rented, or transferred to partners for any secondary purpose.
