Why it matters

Parents who allow their children to use Strava can be held personally liable for any Terms violations the child commits, and the child's GPS location and fitness data will be collected and processed under the same terms as adult users.

Consumer impact

Strava's 2026 Terms grant the platform a broad, royalty-free license to use your workout data, GPS routes, and content for commercial purposes including aggregated data products, and limit Strava's liability to a maximum of $100 or 12 months of fees paid — whichever is greater — even in cases involving serious harm. Paying subscribers face automatic renewal with no refunds available except a 14-day cooling-off period for users outside the US, and subscription fees can be increased with only 'reasonable notice.' You can opt out of the mandatory arbitration clause by sending written notice to Strava within 30 days of your account creation date.

Applicable agencies
