The app and your own content services

Aava IPTV is a player for your own content service. A Windows preview is available. Sections concerning other platforms or features apply only to versions that provide them. Aava does not include channels or an IPTV subscription and does not require a Taipale account.

Data stored on your device

The app may store the source-server address, username and password or a playlist URL containing credentials, library cache, favourites, viewing history and resume positions, profile and playback preferences, and an optional subtitle-service key. These are stored on the device. Supported versions use protected operating-system storage for credentials. Taipale IT has no Aava account register collecting this data.

Browser preview data

The browser player at https://taipaleit.fi/aava/soitin.html?lang=en processes the source address, credentials, M3U file and loaded library in the open tab’s memory only. The application does not save these in cookies, localStorage or on a Taipale IT server. Video, library data and source images are requested directly from your chosen provider; that provider and services it specifies receive the credentials, IP address and content details needed for those requests. The browser player has no user analytics, advertising or third-party code CDN. Delivering the page and Aava’s own demo video creates technical hosting request data as described in the company privacy policy. Local SRT/VTT subtitle files are read in the browser and not sent to Taipale IT. Remove source and clear stops playback and clears the library, credentials and local subtitle from memory. Leaving the page also clears the application’s source data. Close the tab on a shared device. Browser download, password and history features are managed by the browser. This version uses HTTPS sources and has no Taipale server relaying provider traffic.

Content, programme-guide and image requests

When you add a source or watch content, Aava contacts the server you select and the playback, guide or image services it specifies. Providers receive the credentials or access token needed for the request, your IP address and information identifying the requested content. Redirect targets may receive the URL required for playback. HTTPS encrypts traffic. With an HTTP source or playback redirected to HTTP, traffic and credentials in the URL may be unencrypted. Your provider is responsible for its logs, accounts and retention practices. Taipale IT does not verify a provider’s content rights.

Optional subtitles

Using OpenSubtitles search sends the requested title, language, any season and episode numbers, and the required API key to OpenSubtitles. The service also receives technical request information. Using your own local subtitle file does not require this search. Service privacy: https://opensubtitles.tawk.help/article/privacy-policy

Phone pairing and external receivers

On TV versions providing phone pairing, the phone browser and TV exchange information needed for pairing and source entry through the connection shown by the app. Use your own trusted local network and keep the one-time pairing code private. When using a supported AirPlay or Chromecast feature, the receiver gets the URL needed for playback, which may contain service credentials. Google Cast SDK may send diagnostics to Google under its own terms. These features are not part of Windows preview 0.4.5.

Analytics and deletion

Aava has no developer-operated user analytics server or advertising network. Your app store, operating system or selected external service may process its own technical data. This taipaleit.fi website uses the Vercel Web Analytics described in the company policy; this is separate from app functionality. Remove sources and local data in app settings before handing the device to another user. On some platforms uninstalling does not erase protected storage or separate files. Remove exported files, downloads and recordings from their storage locations. Local deletion does not cancel a content subscription or erase data held by its provider.

Support requests, your rights and contact

If you send a support request, Taipale IT processes your contact details and message to respond. Depending on the request, processing is based on performing a contract or legitimate interests. Support messages are retained for as long as handling the matter or the customer relationship requires, and are then deleted or anonymised. The company policy describes the technical services used for email and this website. You may request access, rectification, erasure or restriction of personal data held by Taipale IT, and object to processing as provided by applicable law. Data stored only on your own device is managed through the app or device settings.
