What it is

Strava may show you personalized ads based on your personal information and may share your data with advertising partners for this purpose, though you can opt out.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Personal information shared with advertising partners for interest-based advertising can include behavioral and demographic data, and once shared with third parties the data is subject to those partners' own privacy practices.

Interpretive note: The specific categories of personal information shared with advertising partners are not enumerated, making it difficult to fully assess the scope of data flows involved in this provision.
