Short version
No accounts, no email collection, no cross-site tracking. Your watching history, favorites, and theme preference stay on your device. We run anonymous analytics and show ads to keep the lights on.
Standard web server stuff: IP address, browser type, pages visited. Kept for 30 days, then deleted. We only look at them when something breaks or someone is abusing the service.
When you press play, we count it as a total per channel. The count is not tied to any person, and we have no way to tell who clicked what.
Volume, mute state, favorites, recents, and theme preference are stored in your browser's local storage. Nothing in this group is sent to our servers. Clear your browser data and it is gone.
We read a country code that our edge network attaches to each request, so the home page can surface popular channels in your country and so we can apply legal geoblocks where required. Your IP address itself is not stored alongside that signal.
We use anonymous error tracking and aggregate traffic statistics to understand which pages are popular and where something breaks. These tools may set cookies but they do not identify you personally.
We display ads through third-party ad networks to cover hosting and development costs. Ad networks may use cookies for frequency-capping and personalization based on your browsing activity. You can opt out in your browser settings or via the ad network's preferences panel.
When you play a channel, your browser connects directly to that broadcaster's server. Tvivu does not sit in the middle except where a proxy is required to bridge HTTP and HTTPS. The broadcaster's server will see your IP address. That is outside our control, and different broadcasters have different privacy practices.
We will update this page if anything changes. The date at the top tells you when the last update happened.
