IndyHouse Privacy Policy
Version 1 · Effective October 15, 2026
This policy explains what information IndyHouse collects, what we do with it, and the choices you have. It covers the IndyHouse website, the IndyHouse platform at app.indyhouseapp.com, every House, the IndyHouse iPhone app, and the IndyHouse Fans iPhone app.
IndyHouse is made by StarHouse LLC, a Texas company. In this policy, "StarHouse," "we," and "us" mean StarHouse LLC.
It's part of our Terms of Service.
1. The short version
- We collect what IndyHouse needs to work. That's your account, the work you put in your House, and records of how the House is used.
- Your content is yours. We store it and show it to the people you choose. That's it.
- We never train AI on your content. Not ours, and not anyone else's.
- We never sell your data or your fans' data. We don't show ads. We don't use trackers that follow you around the web.
- Some StarHouse staff can see inside a House. They do it only to help you, keep IndyHouse safe, or follow the law. That access is logged.
- Fans: each club belongs to its artist. What you share in a fan club is seen by that artist and their team, not by other fans. You can delete it all from the app. Section 10 explains.
- Deleting is real, but backups take time. When you delete something, it leaves your House and our live systems right away. Copies stay in our backups until those backups are replaced on schedule. Section 11 explains how long.
- You can export everything, any time.
2. Who this policy is about
IndyHouse is used by different people in different ways:
- Artists own a House. That's their private workspace for music, writing, media, and promotion.
- Team members, members, and collaborators are people an artist invites into their House.
- Fans join an artist's fan club, in the IndyHouse Fans app or on the artist's own website.
- Other people have their information kept in an artist's House. That includes collaborators who don't use IndyHouse, listeners on share links, and contacts.
Who decides what happens to the information.
- For your account and how you use IndyHouse, StarHouse decides how that information is used. This policy explains how.
- For the content an artist puts in their House, the artist decides what goes in and why. That includes information about other people. StarHouse holds it for the artist and handles it only to run IndyHouse for them.
- For a fan club, the artist decides what the club asks for, what it sends you, and how they use what you share. StarHouse runs the app and the club pages for the artist. Section 10 explains.
If you're a fan or collaborator and want to know what an artist keeps about you, start with the artist. You can also write to us. Section 13 explains how.
3. What we collect
3.1 Your account
- your sign-in email address
- your name, the name you like to go by, and your artist name
- the name and web address of your House
- an optional profile photo
- your time zone
- a contact email, if it's different from your sign-in email
- the plan you chose, and which version of these terms and this policy you agreed to, and when
- if you used a founding code, a record that you did (we store the code itself only in a scrambled form)
We use a sign-in company to send your sign-in codes and check them. It holds your email address and a record of your sign-ins.
Fans sign in differently. See Section 10.
3.2 What you put in your House
This is your content. It can include:
- music: songs, versions, masters, stems, artwork, and credits
- Writing Room work: song ideas, lyrics, notes, and voice memos
- the text of your voice memos, which your iPhone makes. See Section 6.
- photos and video
- documents, like contracts, split sheets, registrations, statements, invoices, and tax forms
- release plans, share links, and promotion work
- business records, like deals, splits, fees, licensing, and income you track
Photo details. Photos and videos often carry hidden details from the camera. That can include the time, the camera model, and the location where the photo was taken. IndyHouse reads and keeps these details so it can sort and search your media. If you share or download an original file, those details can go with it.
3.3 Information about other people that you add
Running a music career means keeping track of people. An artist or their team can add:
- contacts and collaborators: name, legal name, other names, role, company, email, phone, mailing address, social media handles, photo, and notes
- music business details: performing rights organization (PRO), IPI number, publisher, and split percentages
- copyright filings: what the US Copyright Office asks for about each author. That includes citizenship and country of residence.
- deal partners: names, emails, shares, and fees
- fans: contact details, consent records, and fan lists brought in from tools the artist used before. See Sections 9 and 10.
3.4 What collaborators send us through a link
An artist can send a collaborator a link to confirm their details and their share of a song. The collaborator doesn't need an account. Through that link they may give their legal name, PRO, IPI, publisher, address, phone, and email. They may also sign a split, leave a note, or say they're interested in IndyHouse. We don't keep tax ID numbers sent this way. Our system drops them.
3.5 Listeners on share links
When an artist shares music with a private link, we may record:
- the name and email of the person the artist sent it to
- when the music was played
- the listener's country, based on their internet connection
- comments listeners leave, with the name they give
If a share link has a passphrase, we record the internet (IP) address of each wrong try. We use it to stop people from guessing.
3.6 Email you send into your House
Each House has a private email address. Files sent to it land in the House. We keep the attachments and the email's subject line.
3.7 Storage accounts you connect
If you bring files in from Google Drive or Dropbox, we keep:
- an access key, so we can fetch the files you pick. We store it in encrypted form.
- the email address of the account you connected
We don't read anything you didn't ask us to bring in.
3.8 How IndyHouse is used
- Visits: when someone opens a House, we record who it was (by email), which House, which part (like Music or the Writing Room), whether it was on the web or iPhone, and when. We record at most one visit per person every 15 minutes. We use this to show the artist who's been active, and to run and support IndyHouse.
- Staff access records: when StarHouse staff use special access, we log who, which House, what they did, and when. See Section 8.
- Feedback: if you send us feedback, we keep your message, your name and email, the page you were on, any files you attach, and your browser type.
- Service logs: our hosting company keeps short-term technical logs of requests to IndyHouse. We use them to fix problems and keep IndyHouse secure.
We don't use advertising trackers or outside analytics tools.
3.9 Your device
- iPhone permissions: the IndyHouse app asks to use your camera, microphone, photos, and Face ID only when you use a feature that needs them. Face ID happens on your phone. We never get your face data.
- Notifications: if you allow notifications in the IndyHouse app, we store your phone's notification token with your House and email. The IndyHouse app doesn't send push notifications yet. When it does, we'll use the token only for notifications you've set up. For the IndyHouse Fans app, see Section 10.
- On your web browser: see Section 14.
3.10 Payments
Payment isn't switched on yet. When it is:
- On the web, a payment company will handle your card. We won't see or store your full card number.
- On iPhone, Apple handles payment.
We keep your plan, payment status, and invoices. If someone else pays for your House, we keep their name and email too.
IndyHouse Fans is free. Fans never pay through it.
4. How we use information
We use information to:
- run IndyHouse: store your work, show it to the people you allow, convert files, make previews, back things up, and keep it in sync on your devices
- do what you ask: send share links, invites, reminders, passcode resets, and exports
- send messages you set up: the emails, texts, and notifications you set up for your fans and team
- run fan clubs for artists: see Section 10
- find news about you: with Radar. See Section 5.
- give you AI help, when you use it: see Section 6
- support you: answer questions and fix problems
- keep IndyHouse safe: stop abuse, spam, and break-ins, and investigate problems
- follow the law: meet legal duties and respond to valid legal requests
- improve IndyHouse: look at how features are used, like visit counts, to decide what to fix or build. We don't use your content for this, and we never use it to train AI.
Emails from us. We send emails you need, like sign-in codes and important notices about your account. We'll only send product news if you say yes, and you can stop at any time.
Legal reasons we rely on. Some privacy laws, like Europe's GDPR, ask for the legal reason behind each use:
- running IndyHouse and doing what you ask: to perform our contract with you
- safety, security, support, and Radar: our legitimate interests in running a safe and useful service
- notifications, fan messages, and product news: your consent, or the fan's consent
- legal duties: to comply with the law
5. Radar: finding public mentions
Radar is an IndyHouse feature, on plans that include it. Here's how it works:
- It watches public news sources for your artist name. It also watches for the names of any collaborators you add to Radar.
- It sends those names as search terms to a news search service.
- It saves matching headlines and links in your House.
- It uses an automated tool, including AI, to judge which ones look useful.
- It reads only public sources. It doesn't sign into any account, and it doesn't read private posts or messages.
Radar results are information about what's public. They aren't a full record. They can be wrong.
6. AI processing
What uses AI. Some IndyHouse features use AI services run by other companies:
- Photos and video: suggesting tags and descriptions, reading text on cover art, and sorting images
- Documents: summarizing documents and agreements you upload, and pulling out details like credits and splits
- Writing help: tidying lyrics you paste in, and drafting pitches, share messages, and project notes
- Radar: judging which news items look useful
When you use one of these, the needed content goes to an AI service, and the result comes back to your House. An agreement can include other people's details, like a co-writer's PRO or IPI number. Then those details go too.
Voice memos stay on your phone for transcription. On iPhone, voice memos are turned into text by Apple's speech recognition. It runs on your phone. The audio isn't sent to an AI service for transcription. The text it makes is saved in your House with the memo.
Rhyme help looks words up on your device. It doesn't use an AI model.
No training, ever. StarHouse never uses your content, or your fans' information, to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models. We only use AI services whose terms say they won't train on what we send them. They may keep what we send for a short time, under their terms, to check for abuse. Then they delete it.
Your control. You can choose "No AI" for a file when you bring it into your House. Then no AI feature will use that file.
AI makes mistakes. Check what it suggests before relying on it.
7. What we never do
- We never sell your information, your content, or your fans' information. That includes "selling" or "sharing" as California and other state laws define it.
- We never train AI on your content, and we don't let anyone else do it either.
- We never use your content or your fans' information for advertising. We don't show ads in IndyHouse or IndyHouse Fans. We don't use your content to target ads anywhere.
- We never share fans' phone numbers or text-message consent with anyone for their own marketing. Text-message sign-up details and consent are never shared with third parties, except the companies that deliver the texts.
- We never share a fan's club profile with another artist. Each club is separate.
- We never use your content in our marketing without asking you first.
- We never watch other people on social platforms. Radar reads public news and your own connected accounts. It never monitors anyone else.
8. Who can see your information
People in your House. The owner decides who comes in and what each role can see and do. A room passcode can stop people in your House from opening that room without it.
People you share with. When you send a share link, invite, or message, the people you send it to can see what you shared.
StarHouse staff. Some StarHouse staff can see inside any House, including its fan club. They do it only to:
- help you, when you ask
- keep IndyHouse safe and working, for example to look into abuse or a serious bug
- follow the law
When staff use that access to get past something a House member couldn't, it's logged. Our team can also see visit records (Section 3.8) to support and run IndyHouse.
Companies that help us run IndyHouse. We use service providers. They get only what they need to do their job for us. They aren't allowed to use it for anything else. They include:
| What they do | Who |
|---|---|
| Hosting, database, file storage, video and image handling, inbound email, some AI features, and technical logs | Cloudflare |
| Sign-in for artists and their teams | Clerk |
| Email to fans, fan sign-in codes, text messages, and the photo safety check | Amazon Web Services |
| Other email from IndyHouse, like invites and reminders | Resend |
| AI features (Section 6) | Anthropic, Google (Gemini), and Cloudflare (Workers AI) |
| Searching the news for Radar | Google News |
| Storing our backups | Google (Google Workspace) |
| Notifications on iPhone, and address suggestions in IndyHouse Fans | Apple |
| Payments, when switched on | a card payment company, and Apple for iPhone purchases |
For the current list, write to privacy@starhousellc.com.
When the law requires it. We may share information if a valid legal process requires it, like a subpoena or court order. We may also share it to protect someone from serious harm, or to protect IndyHouse, StarHouse, or our users from fraud or abuse. When the law allows, we'll tell you before we share your information.
If StarHouse changes hands. If StarHouse or IndyHouse is merged or sold, information may move to the new owner. The promises in this policy go with it, including Section 7. If the new owner wants to change them, we'll tell you first. You'll have the chance to export your work and close your account.
9. Fan messaging
An artist can email and text fans from their House:
- An artist can email and text only fans who have agreed to hear from them.
- IndyHouse keeps a consent record for each fan. It shows when and how the fan agreed, and the words beside the box they ticked. It also records each opt-out.
- Emails come from the artist and include a way to unsubscribe. Unsubscribing works right away.
- Each House texts from its own numbers. Texting needs approval from the phone carriers for each House, so it may not be on for every House yet.
- Fans can reply STOP at any time to stop texts, or HELP for help. IndyHouse honors STOP right away. Outside the US and Canada, where a reply may not work, each text has a link to stop.
- IndyHouse holds marketing texts during quiet hours, at night in the fan's own time zone.
- We keep fans' phone numbers, emails, consent records, and opt-outs. We keep records of messages sent, whether an email was delivered, opened, or clicked, and taps on links in texts.
The artist decides who to message and is responsible for having consent. A fan's information is used only to send them that artist's messages. It isn't shared with other artists, and it isn't used to market anything else. Mobile sign-up details and text-message consent are never shared with third parties for marketing.
10. IndyHouse Fans
IndyHouse Fans is a free iPhone app for joining an artist's fan club. Each club is run by its artist. The same club also lives on the artist's own website. For example, Brooklyn Van Zandt's Earth Angels club is at brooklynvanzandt.com/fans.
10.1 Who runs your club
- The artist runs the club. They decide what it asks for, what it sends you, and how they use what you share. Some artists have their own privacy policy and terms. Your club links to them where they exist. Read them too.
- StarHouse runs the app and the club pages for the artist. We keep fan information only to provide the app and the club, keep them safe, and follow the law. We never sell it, never use it for ads, and never use it to train AI.
- Each club is separate. Joining one club doesn't share anything with another artist.
10.2 Signing in
You join with an email address or a mobile number. We send a one-time code to prove it's yours. Codes sent by text come through our text-message provider. Each code works once, for a short time. We keep only a scrambled form of it. We use your internet address to slow down repeated tries.
10.3 What you share
After you join, you share as much or as little as you want. Your profile can hold:
- your name
- your email address and mobile number
- your birthday
- a profile photo
- a few words about yourself
- your social media handles
- your mailing address, if you want gifts or a chance to win a drawing
- your shirt size, how you found the artist, and your favorite song
- the color scheme you picked for the app
All of these are optional, except an email address or mobile number to sign in. When you type an address in the app, your iPhone's Apple Maps service suggests matches.
When you join, you tick a box to say you're 13 or older. We keep the time you ticked it.
10.4 What the club records
We keep a record of what you do in the club:
- the cards you pull, craft, and hold, the pulls you earn, and your dust (in Earth Angels, "Angel dust")
- which Vault tracks you play, when, and how far you listen
- when you visit, and your visit streak
- if you joined through a friend's invite link, who invited you, so they get credit
- your votes in polls and your quiz answers
- Summon: the cities where you want a show
- Missions: which ones you finished, and the photo or the link to your post that you sent as proof
- ideas you send to the artist's team
- posts you report, and mods you block
- whether you open or click the club's emails, and tap links in its texts
- each time you opt in or out of emails or texts, with the words you agreed to
The artist may also hold information you gave them before, through other sign-up tools they used. If you didn't tell the club your city, it may guess one from your phone's area code. A guess never counts as a Summon pick.
10.5 Who sees it
- The artist and their team see your profile and what you do in the club. They can add private notes and tags about you, and download their club's fan list.
- Other fans never see your profile. They see totals, like how many fans picked a city, voted for an answer, or finished a mission. They never see who.
- Summon may show an anonymous line like "a new fan from Waco," using your home city. It never shows your name.
- Mods. If the club makes you a mod, your first name and a Mod badge show on the polls and quizzes you make. You're asked first, and you can say no. Mods must be 18 or older.
- Reports. The person you report isn't told it was you. The club's team looks at every report.
- StarHouse staff can see a club only for the reasons in Section 8.
If you're under 18, the team won't offer to write back to you about ideas you send.
10.6 Profile photos and mission photos
Before any photo is stored, an automated safety check (Amazon Rekognition) looks for unsafe content. A photo that passes is stored. A photo that fails is never stored. We keep only the check's answer. You can remove your profile photo at any time.
10.7 Emails and texts from your club
- Email. If you say yes to emails, the artist may send you news, early access, and the stories behind the songs. Every email has an unsubscribe link. You can also turn emails off in the app. We may still send messages you need, like a sign-in code.
- Texts. You can join a club's texts by ticking the text box when you join or edit your profile, or by texting the club's keyword to its number. The text box shows the exact words you agree to. By joining, you agree to get recurring automated marketing texts from that artist. Saying yes is never a condition of buying anything or entering a drawing. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
- Stopping texts. Reply STOP to any text to stop all texts. You'll get one message confirming it, and nothing more. You can also turn texts off in the app. Reply HELP for help, or write to support@starhousellc.com.
- Quiet hours. Marketing texts aren't sent at night in your own time zone.
- Carriers aren't liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
- Your mobile information isn't shared. We never sell, rent, or share your mobile number or text opt-in information with third parties for their marketing. Text opt-in data and consent are never shared with any third party, except the companies that deliver the texts.
10.8 Push notifications
If you allow notifications, we store your phone's notification token and time zone with your club profile. We use them only for the kinds of notifications you leave on, like new Vault tracks, new cards, missions, polls, replies to your ideas, and Summon news. You can turn each kind off in the app, or turn all of them off in your iPhone's settings. Signing out or deleting your account removes your phone's token.
10.9 Giveaways and drawings
A club may run gift drawings. To enter, you add a mailing address. We use your entry and your address to check you're eligible, remove duplicate entries, pick winners at random, contact winners by email or text, and ship prizes. Each drawing has its own official rules. They say who can enter and whether winners are announced.
10.10 Downloading and deleting
In the app, go to You, then Privacy. There you can:
- download your information as a file
- stop the messages but keep your profile
- delete everything
When you delete everything, we erase your profile, photos, cards, picks, entries, votes, ideas, and contact details. We keep two things:
- a scrambled (hashed) copy of your email address and phone number, so an old list can never add you back by mistake
- the record of when you opted in and out of emails and texts
Vault play counts stay, but they're no longer tied to you. Copies leave our backups on the schedule in Section 11. If you join again later, it's a fresh start.
10.11 Age
IndyHouse Fans is for people 13 and older. See Section 15.
11. How long we keep things
Your content stays until you delete it. It also stays while your account is open. That's true even if you stop paying.
Trash. When you delete media or Writing Room items, they go to Trash first. After 30 days, Trash empties itself.
"Delete now." When you choose Delete now, the item is removed from your House and our live storage right away. Your House shows it as gone, and so does every link to it. It isn't gone from everywhere yet. Copies can stay in our backups until those backups are replaced on schedule (see below). We use backup copies only to recover IndyHouse after a failure.
Backups. We back up IndyHouse every night.
- Database backups hold your account details, text (like lyrics, notes, and memo text), contacts, fan club records, and other records. We keep a nightly copy for 30 days, then one a week for up to 6 months, then one a month for up to 12 months. So something you delete can stay in a database backup for up to 12 months after you delete it.
- File backups hold copies of your original files, like audio, photos, and video. A copy stays for up to 90 days after the file is deleted.
Other records:
| Record | How long we keep it |
|---|---|
| Unfinished signups | 30 days |
| Export download links | 7 days |
| Visit records | 12 months |
| Staff access logs | 3 years, for security |
| Feedback | 2 years |
| Fan notification tokens | until you sign out of IndyHouse Fans, delete your fan account, or the token stops working |
| Fan consent records (opt-ins and opt-outs) | kept after you delete your fan account, as the record of your consent |
| Hosting company's technical logs | a short time, under our hosting company's settings |
When you close your account. We remove your account and your House's content from live storage within 90 days. Copies then leave our backups on the schedule above. We may keep some records longer when we have to. Examples are payment records for tax law, records of a legal claim, or the fact that you agreed to these terms.
12. Exporting and deleting
Export. The owner can download everything in their House at any time. The export uses open, common file formats. It includes a list of what's inside. That covers songs, files, Writing Room work, media, releases, promotion, contacts, and business records. The download link works for 7 days.
Exporting doesn't delete anything. Your House stays as it is.
Deleting single items. You can delete items yourself, any time. See Section 11 for how Trash and Delete now work.
Closing your account. In the app or on the web, go to Your account, then Delete your account. You see exactly what goes and what stays before you confirm. Your sign-in, profile and phone notifications end at once, you leave every House you're in, and your Writing Room closes. Lines you wrote on someone else's song stay on that song, with your name on them. If other people are in a House you own, you hand it to someone else first; if you're the only person in it, the House closes with your account. You can download your work first. You can also write to privacy@starhousellc.com from the email you sign in with.
Fans can delete everything in the app. See Section 10.10.
13. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- see the information we have about you, and get a copy
- correct it if it's wrong
- delete it
- export it in a common format you can take elsewhere
- object to or limit some uses of it
- withdraw consent you gave, like for notifications, fan messages, or product news
- appeal if we turn down your request
- complain to your data protection authority, like a regulator in the EU or UK, or your state attorney general in the US
We give these rights to everyone who uses IndyHouse, wherever you live.
How to ask. Email privacy@starhousellc.com.
- We'll answer within 30 days, or sooner if your local law requires it.
- We may need to confirm it's you, usually by email.
- Someone you authorize can ask for you, with proof they're allowed to.
- Using your rights won't cost you anything. We won't treat you differently for using them.
If you're a fan, collaborator, or listener, an artist may hold your information. Ask that artist first, because they control it. If you can't reach them, or they don't help, write to us. We'll work with the artist to answer you.
Appeals. If we turn down your request, you can appeal by replying to our answer. If we still say no, you can complain to your state attorney general or your local data protection authority.
14. Cookies and storage in your browser
IndyHouse uses a small number of cookies and browser storage. They're only for making IndyHouse work. We don't use advertising cookies or tracking cookies.
| Name or type | What it does |
|---|---|
| Sign-in cookies (from our sign-in company, and on some addresses Cloudflare Access) | keep you signed in |
hq_house | remembers which House you opened |
| Fan club sign-in cookie | keeps a fan signed in to a club. It works only on the club's pages. |
| Browser storage (local storage and IndexedDB) | saves your settings, like theme. It also keeps drafts offline so your writing isn't lost, and lets an interrupted upload pick up again. A random ID for the browser keeps your drafts in sync. |
If you block these, IndyHouse may not work properly. You can clear them in your browser settings.
An artist's own website may use its own cookies outside the club pages. Their policy covers those.
15. Children
We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13, except as described below for an artist's web club.
- Houses. You must be 18 or older to make an account. A parent or guardian can open a House for an artist aged 13 to 17 and is responsible for it. Nobody under 13 may have a House.
- IndyHouse Fans. The app is for people 13 and older. Nobody under 13 may use it. There's no way in the app for a parent to sign up a younger child.
- An artist's web club. On the web, an artist's club may let a child under 13 join with a parent's or guardian's permission. The club asks for the parent's email and sends the parent a request. Nothing about the child is kept unless the parent says yes, and a request nobody answers is erased. A child who joined this way can't use the app. Their club stays on the website. A parent can ask to see, change, or delete their child's information, or withdraw permission, by writing to privacy@starhousellc.com.
- Mods must be 18 or older.
Artists shouldn't add children under 13 to their contacts or fan lists, or message them, except through a parent's permission as described above.
If we learn we've collected information from a child under 13 without a parent's permission, we'll delete it. If you think that's happened, write to us.
16. How we protect information
Here's what we actually do:
- Encrypted connections. IndyHouse and IndyHouse Fans are served over HTTPS. Information is encrypted while it travels between your device and us.
- Scrambled secrets. We store room passcodes, founding codes, reset links, and fan sign-in codes only in a scrambled form that can't be turned back into the original (a hash). We encrypt keys for connected storage accounts.
- Limits on guessing. Too many wrong passcodes or codes cause a wait before you can try again.
- Signed, expiring links. Media links are signed and expire. Many share links expire, and you can turn them off.
- Private by default. Only people the owner invites can get into a House.
- Logged staff access. See Section 8.
- Nightly backups. These are checked after each run.
What we don't do. IndyHouse is not end-to-end encrypted. Our systems can read your content, because they need to show it, convert it, and back it up.
A room passcode keeps people in your House out of that room. It doesn't encrypt the words inside. Those words are still in backups and exports. StarHouse systems can still read them.
No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your information, we'll tell you as the law requires.
17. Where your information is stored
StarHouse is in the United States. Our providers run data centers in many countries, so your information may be handled outside the country where you live. Fan email, texts, and the photo safety check run through Amazon Web Services in the United States.
When information moves from the EU, UK, or Switzerland to the US, we rely on the safeguards the law allows.
18. Accounts you connect from other companies
18.1 Rules for every account you connect
- We connect an account only when you ask us to. We ask only for the access the features you use need.
- We use what we get from a connected account only to run the IndyHouse features you use with it.
- We never sell it, never use it for advertising, and never use it to train AI.
- We never use it to watch or build profiles of other people.
- Our service providers (Section 8) may handle it for us, and only for us.
- You can disconnect any account at any time. When you do, we delete what we got from it. The timing for each service is below.
