Age-based protections are legally required under COPPA in the US and similar laws globally, but parents should be aware that teen users may still share significant location and health data on the platform.
Strava collects highly sensitive personal data including precise GPS routes, heart rate, sleep data, and other health metrics, which may be used to train AI/ML models and contribute to publicly accessible features like the Global Heatmap. Health data from connected devices will not be sold or used for advertising, but activity data can be shared in aggregated or de-identified form and used for AI development. You can adjust your privacy and visibility controls in the Strava app under Settings > Privacy Controls to limit how your data is shared and used.
