Privacy Policy

Airwave is free, open, self-hostable software. This policy explains what data the getairwave.tv website and the Airwave software do — and do not — collect. The short version: the website does not track you, and the software runs entirely on your own server and phones nothing home.

The website (getairwave.tv)

This site is a static documentation and marketing site. It has no user accounts, sets no advertising or tracking cookies, and includes no analytics or advertising SDKs. A theme preference (light/dark) may be stored locally in your browser; it never leaves your device.

The site is hosted on Vercel, which — like any web host — processes standard server request logs (such as IP address, user-agent, and timestamps) to serve and secure the site. That processing is governed by Vercel's privacy policy. If we ever add privacy-respecting analytics, we will update this page first.

The Airwave software (self-hosted)

When you self-host Airwave, it runs entirely on your server. Your data — your Plex library metadata cache, viewer accounts, watch history, and settings — is stored in your database on your infrastructure. Airwave sends no telemetry, analytics, or usage data to the project maintainers or any third party. We never receive it, because it never leaves your deployment.

The software connects only to services you control or configure:

• Your Plex Media Server and plex.tv — for signing in with Plex, discovering your servers, and streaming your media.
• An optional AI provider — only if you add one, using your own API key, to draft channel lineups. Nothing is sent to it until you configure it.

Your Plex owner token is stored encrypted at rest in your database, and clients never receive it. Admin sessions use a standard session cookie on your own server.

Children

The website is not directed to children. What content a self-hosted Airwave instance makes available, and to whom, is entirely under the control of the person operating that instance.

Changes

We may update this policy as the project evolves. Material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date above.
