Strava users can no longer publicly share activity data on third-party apps, as company aims to crack down on fitness syncing ecosystem
Besides the change dictating how user data is shared on these countless other platforms, the California-based company has also announced that third-party apps won’t be able to use any data parsed from its app to perform analytics using artificial intelligence models. 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.
Strava said: “We want to thoughtfully address situations where users connect to a third-party app and are unaware that their data is being surfaced not just for their own use and visibility, but also to other users . The latest API changes address this scenario and provide a more consistent framework for Strava user data.”

Even if they cancel this stupid move, I know they are likely to do something equally boneheaded at some point. Morons.It's always been a source of frustration that I cannot connect apps such as VeloViewer or Headwind directly to Garmin, that I have had to use a 3rd party intermediary... Strava.we believe the best decision for the platform and for users is to prohibit the use of data extracted from Strava users in this manner.
