Retention & Deletion · Permission or license

The license ends when Content is deleted, except public routes and segments, clubs you created and support-channel posts

For most Content the license ends when the Content is deleted from Strava's systems. There are three exceptions: your public routes and segments, clubs you have created, and posts you have made to support channels. For those, the license is perpetual (indefinite) and Strava may keep storing and using that information after your account is deleted.
