You can hide the following stats from your activities when they appear in other athletes’ feeds or when others view your activity details.
- Heart rate
- Pace or speed
- Power
- Calories
This setting can be enabled on individual activities and can always be adjusted in the future if you change your mind. Please note that stats hidden from the activity page may still be visible to other athletes elsewhere in the product. Additionally, other athletes may be able to deduce stats that have been explicitly hidden using information that remains visible.

FAQs
Can I hide my stats by default?
You cannot set a default preference to hide your activity stats. By default, all stats will be shown to other athletes, but you will always have the option to adjust this setting on the edit or upload screen.
Can I still see my own stats?
Yes, you will still be able to see any stats you've hidden on your activities.
If I hide my stats, will they still contribute to training features like Fitness and Freshness or Relative Effort?
Yes, hidden data will still count towards these features. Relative Effort will also be hidden from other athletes if you choose to hide your heart rate, however.
Can I bulk-update old activities so that my stats are hidden?
You can hide your heart rate from all your previous activities using the instructions outlined here. At this time, it is not possible to hide your pace/speed or power in bulk, however.
How is hiding heart rate different than approving/denying Strava from processing health-related data?
Hiding heart rate will allow you to continue seeing this data on your activities but hide it from other athletes. Denying Strava consent to process and store your health-related data will remove heart rate data entirely. It will be stripped from your activity files so neither you nor anyone else will see it.
