6. AI-Powered Data Processing

AI

AI Is Central to the Service

Artificial intelligence is a core component of Trenly, not an optional feature. Your data is processed by AI systems to deliver the Service's functionality.

What AI Processes

  • Uploaded documents (leases, insurance policies, tax bills, loan statements) to extract structured data
  • Portfolio data to generate analytics, insights, and operational recommendations
  • Inbound emails and messages to categorize, triage, and draft responses
  • Voice calls to understand caller intent and provide real-time responses
  • Prospect inquiries to answer questions about listings and schedule tours

AI-Generated Communications

The Service may generate and send emails, SMS messages, and voice responses on behalf of property owners. These communications are created by AI and may be sent automatically or after owner approval, depending on configuration.

Human Oversight

Property owners can review AI-generated recommendations and communications before they are executed. Critical actions (such as financial transactions) require explicit owner approval.

No Automated Decisions with Legal Effect

We do not use AI to make automated decisions that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects on individuals. AI outputs are informational and operational tools for property owners, not binding determinations about tenants or prospects.

7. Third-Party Service Providers

We share data with the following categories of third-party service providers to operate the Service:

Provider Purpose Data Shared
OpenAI Document extraction, chat assistant, email triage, analytics Document content, chat queries, property data, communications

Property data providers Property valuations, tax records, market data Property addresses

Each third-party provider is contractually required to protect your data and use it only for the purposes described above. We do not permit these providers to use your data for their own marketing or advertising purposes.

8. Voice AI and Automated Phone System

Call Recording and Transcription Notice

Calls to our AI-powered phone system may be recorded and transcribed for quality assurance and to provide the Service.

Our voice AI phone system processes the following data:

  • Caller phone number and caller identification information
  • Call audio recordings and real-time transcriptions
  • AI-generated responses and actions taken during the call (such as scheduling tours or providing property information)
  • Call duration, timestamps, and outcome data

Voice data is processed by our AI providers (see Section 7) to understand caller intent and provide real-time conversational responses. Property owners can access call transcripts and recordings through the Service.

9. Communications on Your Behalf

The Service sends communications on behalf of property owners to tenants and prospects. These communications may be AI-generated and include:

  • Emails regarding lease matters, maintenance, rent reminders, and property updates
  • SMS messages for tour confirmations, showing reminders, and urgent notifications
  • Voice AI responses to inbound phone calls

All commercial email communications include an unsubscribe mechanism in compliance with CAN-SPAM. Tenants and prospects may opt out of non-essential communications. Transactional messages related to active leases or confirmed appointments may still be sent as necessary.

SMS Communications Consent

When prospects provide a phone number through our web forms (tour scheduling, contact inquiries, or rental applications), a disclosure is displayed directly below the phone number field stating that submitting the form constitutes consent to receive SMS messages. Consent is recorded with a timestamp and the method of opt-in.

  • Recipients may opt out at any time by replying STOP to any SMS message
  • Recipients may opt back in by texting START
  • For full details, see our SMS Terms & Conditions
