Strava and the European Union’s Digital Services Act

Strava is committed to working with regulators to meet its obligations in countries in which it operates, including the European Union’s (“EU”) Digital Services Act (“DSA”). The DSA sets out requirements for certain online services, including obligations related to user transparency.

Information on Average Monthly Active Recipients in the European Union

For online services that have more than 45 million “average monthly active recipients of the service” in the European Union, the DSA establishes a heightened set of requirements. To determine which online services are subject to those heightened requirements, the DSA sets out a methodology to calculate the average monthly active recipients of the service in the European Union.

Using this methodology and in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DSA, Strava confirms that its average monthly active recipients of the service in the European Union for the period between August 2024 to February 2025 is below the 45 million user threshold. This number does not include the automated users, such as bots or scrapers, where we are able to detect that activity.

Reporting Illegal Content

Reporting Portal for EU Member States and Trusted Flaggers

Under the DSA, providers of online services are required to ensure that any orders against content received from EU Member States and reports received from entities awarded Trusted Flaggers status are prioritized and processed without undue delay.

If you are an official representative of an EU Member State or a Trusted Flagger, you may fill out the form in our DSA Report Portal. 

Reporting Form for EU Users

For all other users in the EU, you may report content you believe to be illegal by filling out a form. Please right-click on this link and open a new window to access the form.

We take user reports seriously and will do our best to understand the context and take appropriate actions based on our policies and the results of our investigation.
