Data Access & Collection · Company practice

Kinds of data that may be Consumer Health Data

Strava says it helps people record, measure, improve and, when they choose, share their athletic performance. Because of how broad certain privacy laws are, it says a limited amount of the Activity Data it collects may be considered Consumer Health Data. The categories "may include" information that identifies vital signs or health-related measurements, or reproductive information. The wording is a non-exhaustive "may include" and does not list specific data fields.

  • The category list is introduced by "may include", so it is not stated to be complete.

Not stated here
