Managing Your Privacy on Strava
Nothing is more important than the safety of our Gippy Girl community.
Strava is special in that you can record activities anywhere in the world and connect with like minded people along the way. One of the ways that Strava keep you exercising is by using accountability — the ability to share your workouts with friends so you can urge each other onward — but wanting to share with your pals is different than wanting to share with an app developer or some anonymous marketer.
If you are concerned about someone knowing where you are, where you ran or where you live, Strava have got the tools to help you take control and we will show you how.
Privacy Level That’s Right for You
The simple level is to choose to not use any privacy controls and make your info available publicly, like it would be on Twitter. If you prefer a higher level of privacy, you can choose greater privacy to add additional controls. This allows you to manage who can follow you and see certain profile details. You can learn more here.
Or pehaps you’d like to chose the highest level of privacy. Choosing to make your actvites private, means you will be the only person who can see this activity on Strava. Learn more about making your activities private here.
More Control on Strava
- Profile Page
Set your profile privacy control to Everyone or followers depending on your choice of privacy - Add Privacy Zones
A privacy zone will hide the portion of your activity that starts or ends in your zone from everyone. If you don’t want anyone to know where you live or work for example, you can set up a privacy zone 200m-1km. Learn more here.
