This provision establishes the operational framework through which Strava processes user health data and location information for machine learning model development and feature generation. The authorization is contingent on user-configured privacy controls and sharing permissions, establishing a conditional consent mechanism for AI training uses.
Your heart rate, GPS routes, and performance data may be used to train Strava's AI systems, meaning sensitive health information collected during your workouts has a secondary use beyond personal performance tracking.
