Aggregated Data Usage Privacy Controls

The Aggregated Data Usage privacy control allows you to determine whether your activities contribute to community-powered features such as Strava Metro, the Global Heatmap, Points of Interest, and Start/End Points.

How it Works

• When you enable the toggle to “Contribute your activity data to de-identified, aggregate data sets”:
  
  • Anyone on the web:
    • Will see your aggregated and de-identified contributions to community-powered features such as Metro, Heatmap, Points of Interest, and Start/End points.
  • No one:
    • Will see contributions from activities that you’ve made 'Only You.'
• When you disable the toggle to “Contribute your activity data to de-identified, aggregate data sets”:
  • No one:
    • Will see contributions from activities you’ve uploaded, regardless of the activities’ privacy controls.

Managing your Aggregated Data Usage Privacy Controls
