As a part of our commitment to privacy and transparency, we want to keep our community informed about important updates on how Strava data can be displayed, accessed, and used by third-party apps. If you have granted a third-party app access to your activity data, they will no longer be able to display it within their surfaces to any user other than yourself. This update to our API Agreement went into effect recently and impacted partners will have a month to update their apps to comply with these new standards.
If you have authenticated for a third-party application that accesses your Strava activity data, you may notice changes in the coming month in how that data appears or is used by some apps as they adjust to the new terms. These updates are part of our continued focus on enhancing privacy standards for your data.
Third-party apps that you connect to will continue to have access to your activity data to support integrations that benefit your Strava experience. However, these apps are now restricted from displaying your data to other users, helping to ensure your data remains accessible only to you.
