Updates to Strava’s API Agreement

Strava’s open platform has empowered third-party developers to create tools that enhance the experience for our global community. As our community and technology evolve, we are updating our API terms to continue our commitment to privacy and security for our users.

Effective November 11, the updated API agreement introduces three key changes that provide Strava users with greater control, security, and a consistent experience:

  • Stronger Privacy Standards: Third-party apps may now only display a user’s Strava activity data to that specific user. Users will continue to have access to their personal Strava data across apps connected to our platform, though there may be differences in how this data appears.

  • Data Use Limitations: Our terms now explicitly prohibit third parties from using any data obtained via Strava’s API in artificial intelligence models or similar applications.

  • Protecting the Strava Experience: Additional terms have been added to protect Strava’s unique look and feel and functionality, helping users easily distinguish between Strava and third-party platforms.

These updates reinforce our commitment to user privacy and provide a more secure, seamless Strava experience across all connected platforms. These changes are essential to maintaining a high standard of data protection and platform integrity, now and in the future.
