Age Restriction and Minimum Age Requirement

Share 𝕏 Share in Share

What it is

Strava requires users to be at least 13 years old (or older depending on your country), and parents or guardians of underage users are fully legally responsible for those users' actions on the platform.

Why it matters

Children under 13 (or the applicable age in your country) should not be using Strava, and parents who allow underage children to use the platform take on full legal responsibility for any Terms violations.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

The minimum age requirement engages COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) in the US and equivalent child protection regulations in other jurisdictions, including the UK Age Appropriate Design Code (Children's Code) and GDPR Article 8 for EU member states. Legal teams should confirm that Strava's age verification and parental consent mechanisms satisfy applicable legal standards.

Consumer impact

Strava's Terms grant the company a broad, royalty-free license to use your uploaded content—including workout data, routes, and photos—for commercial purposes including product development and third-party sharing. Subscription fees auto-renew automatically, and refunds are generally not provided except in limited circumstances. You can opt out of the mandatory arbitration clause by sending written notice to Strava within 30 days of first accepting these Terms at legal@strava.com.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC enforces COPPA, which imposes strict requirements on online services directed at or knowingly collecting data from children under 13.
