Strava Privacy Policy

Strava's Privacy Policy governs what data Strava collects about you—including your GPS location, health metrics, and activities—and how it uses and shares that data. Your profile and activities are set to public by default if you are 18 or older, meaning anyone, including search engines, can see them unless you change your settings. You can opt out of having your personal information shared for third-party targeted advertising using a link on Strava's website or a setting in the app.

This document establishes how Strava collects, uses, and shares personal information, including sensitive categories such as health data and precise location. It sets out that activity data, live location, and health information from integrations may be collected and used to deliver platform features, train AI and ML models, and generate community-level products such as the Global Heatmap. The policy restricts the commercial use of health information from integrations—prohibiting its sale or use for advertising and its disclosure to third parties without prior consent—while permitting the use of health and location data for AI features subject to users' own privacy controls. Default visibility settings for users aged 18 or older expose profiles and activities publicly, including to search engines, unless users affirmatively change those settings, and Strava reserves the right to modify the policy at any time.

As a Strava user, your activity, health, and live location data are collected and used to power features, build AI models, and create community products like the Global Heatmap. If you are 18 or older, your profile and activities are visible to the public and search engines by default—you must actively change your privacy settings if you do not want this. Strava will not sell or share health information from integrations for advertising or with third parties without your prior consent. To opt out of having your personal information shared for third-party targeted advertising, use the designated opt-out link on Strava's website or the corresponding setting in the Strava app.
