Security and privacy settings in Strava | Kaspersky official blog
- Strava can track running, cycling and hiking. It remains independent; all other major running apps were acquired by sportswear giants.
- The app exposes sensitive data, including location, by default.
- To fix this, Strava offers privacy settings. It's strongly recommended to make profile private and set other options so that maps and location data remain hidden to either followers or only you.
- The privacy settings need to be adjusted manually as they are not retroactive, however, past activities can be manually hidden as well.
- Those who exercise often at sensitive locations can toggle off the option to contribute their activity data to de-identified, aggregate data sets.
- A feature to publicly share photos should be disabled; in case Strava decides to change things, it is best to avoid that possibility.
- Also, one should toggle 'Do Not Share My Personal Information' to prevent Strava from selling your data to third parties.
- The privacy settings as above need to be done manually according to the article.
- The Kaspersky Premium system can further maximise privacy in such situations and protect from digital identity theft.
- Readers can also review and adapt privacy settings utilizing Privacy Checker on Kaspersky's website.
