Strava Privacy Update Nov'24

261

Hi All!

Literally signed up today. I am thinking of no longer paying for Strava when it renews later this year. In that vein, I have several questions,

Migration Strategy.
I’ve been very good at keeping data in Strava over the years. Garmin Connect would be a close second. My data originated over the years from

  1. Garmin (various watches and Edge 1030). So in Garmin Connect and Strava
  2. Old Microsoft band (In Strava or lost)
  3. Zwift (In Zwift, Strava and Connect)
  4. Peloton (In Peloton, Strava and Connect)

Currently I primarily use Garmin and Zwift.

So, I have requested and downloaded all my Garmin Data. I have connected Garmin. I have connected Zwift. I plan on Requesting all my Strava data but not connecting to Strava. (Will this work?)
Going forward, I should have no issues pulling in my new data from Zwift or Garmin. Correct?

2nd question, tell me why this could replace Strava? I think it can, but as I said, I only learned about Intervals yesterday. It does seem a bit overwhelming all the data that is available.

Thanks in advance

There’s a lot to read in this thread, but in summary, you can still keep Strava link on the free account. Any activity from Garmin will take preference over Strava.
