One would think that if a user adds someone as a follower, they’ve made a conscious decision to allow that person to view their data. That means they would waive the right to full privacy, and only allow it for the approved followers. Therefore, their coach would have to be a follower, to be able to view the data. The 3rd party app (let’s call it Intervals.icu) would then have to put measures in place to ensure that only followers could see the data.
That then puts the user in control of what data is private and what is not, which they already have in place in Strava. Just not sure how that appears in 3rd party apps.
Is this the correct way to set it up? Download from both Strava and GarminConnect? I am getting “Error fetching activities GARMIN_CONNECT”, even though my Wellness data has been coming across forever.
Just goes to reiterate we need to think about having a source of truth repository for our Activities. At any moment, Strava could pull away bulk uploads and make it extremely difficult to get all of our historical data. I also have everything in GarminConnect, but pulling historical data there is difficult, and they don’t send any non-Garmin device activities (Zwift, EXR, etc). I hate that I can’t use something like ActivityFix to rename Garmin activities either.
Thanks to GDPR they can’t do that so easily. That’s probably the reason why the bulk download is there in the first place. Take out that archive regularly and back it up somewhere. To save space you can remove the media and/or use incremental backups on the unzipped archive.
Rather wait a little bit. I have a call with Strava on Thursday and will see what they say about all this. I am also likely to implement an importer for the file they send you which will preserve as much info as possible.
Is there an (approx.) ETA for when the import of the Strava bulk data file will be available? And will the import simply replace the existing Strava-sourced data in intervals.icu or will we need to remove Strava-sourced data first?
Irrespective of Strava’s issues, it’s good to have an independent copy of the data.
For me I have it in WKO5 (it’s stored locally for each activity), plus Garmin, Strava, Intervals, TrainingPeaks, and the bulk downloads on a cloud drive. For my older athletes, I also have it in WKO5.
Canceled my Strava Subscription today. I’d rather spend that money on intervals.icu then more useless Strava features and less integration.
Let’s pray Zwift integration is coming before my subscription ends, doing it manual is a PITA.
Is there a way to backup alle data from intervals.icu in case of a total meltdown? Don’t expecting any, but with Strava limiting its features one might never know.
Just trying to think through the implications of unchecking the ‘download activities’ from Strava checkbox on my Intervals account.
I am a Garmin user, so all activities recorded on one of my Garmin devices will still appear, but I will lose the title sync with Strava that Intervals does for me now.
I’m not 100% sure where my Zwift activities are coming from? Looks like Strava? If so, I believe I can’t get that from Garmin (they go there too) as they won’t pass it along. That means I’d need to figure out how to get Zwift stuff into Intervals and I’ll lose all past Zwift activities. It all goes to TrainingPeaks too (free account), but they’re unlikely to want to sync with Intervals. Any thoughts?
I used to use Wahoo devices a year or two back. Garmin won’t have those. Those will be lost if I disconnect Strava.
TrainingPeaks free stores original data files and super easy to generate downloadable archives (by year, by month, by any timeframe).
