Strava is a social fitness platform for runners, cyclists, walkers and other athletes. Users record activities with their phone or a GPS device, view the route and performance data, and compare efforts with earlier ones. Strava also offers an activity feed, clubs, challenges, segments and routes. The service is delivered as an app for iPhone and Android and as a web application.
Strava, Inc. is based in San Francisco, California, and is venture-backed. As a US company it is subject to US jurisdiction, including the CLOUD Act. According to its privacy policy, information of users outside the US is transferred, processed and stored in the United States, relying on mechanisms such as standard contractual clauses. For users in the EEA, Strava Ireland Limited acts as data controller, and the Irish Data Protection Commission is the lead supervisory authority. No EU storage option is mentioned. Because activities, routes and locations are personal and sometimes sensitive data, European organisations and users should review the privacy settings carefully.
