If you live in the US, you generally cannot sue Strava in court — instead, disputes must go through private arbitration. You also cannot join a class action lawsuit against Strava.
Arbitration removes your right to a jury trial and public court proceedings, and the class action waiver means you cannot combine claims with other users even if many people are harmed the same way.
The mandatory arbitration clause with class action waiver raises consumer protection concerns under FTC guidelines and state consumer protection statutes; EU/EEA users are explicitly exempt, reflecting GDPR and EU consumer law compliance requirements.

Strava collects and uses your fitness data, location, and content under a broad license, and can share it with third parties. US users are subject to binding arbitration and cannot join class action lawsuits against Strava. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending written notice to Strava within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.
