Strava is one of the best running and cycling tracking apps, but it’s also a privacy nightmare. Not only have people leaked the locations of secret U.S. military bases just by using it, but it also automatically shares your workout routes on the web. If you start at your home, anyone can figure out where you live.
Strava是最好的跑步和骑行追踪应用程序之一,但这也是隐私的噩梦。 人们不仅通过使用它泄漏了美国秘密军事基地的位置 ,而且还自动在网络上共享了您的锻炼路线。 如果您从家中开始, 任何人都可以弄清楚您的住所 。
毕竟Strava是一个社交网络 (Strava Is a Social Network, After All)
Strava is, fundamentally, a social network for fitness fans. Sharing your location data is what allows you to compare your performance over different routes and segments with others, whether you know them or not. Tightening up your privacy settings will prevent you from using some of these social features. For example, you won’t be able to have the fastest time up that nearby hill on the publicly visible leader, so no King or Queen of the Mountain awards for you.
从根本上讲,Strava是健身爱好者的社交网络。 共享位置数据可以让您与其他路线和细分(无论您是否知道)进行比较。 加强您的隐私设置将阻止您使用其中一些社交功能。 例如,在公开露面的领导者上,您将不可能有最快的时间爬到附近的小山上,因此,山峰之王或女王都不会为您颁奖。
Also, unlike many apps that track your location, Strava really does need to know where you are to work. The problem isn’t that it’s overreaching and recording information it shouldn’t; rather, it’s that, by default, the information is being shared publicly. And, even worse, many people are unaware of that.
此外, 与许多跟踪您位置的应用程序不同 ,Strava确实确实需要知道您要在哪里工作。 问题不在于它不应该扩展和记录信息。 而是默认情况下,信息是公开共享的。 而且,更糟糕的是,许多人没有意识到这一点。
We’re not recommending you just block Strava from knowing your location. Instead, though, go through the following privacy settings and set them at a level you’re comfortable with.
我们不建议您只是阻止Strava知道您的位置。 但是,相反,请通过以下隐私设置并将其设置为您喜欢的级别。
访问Strava的隐私设置 (Accessing Strava’s Privacy Settings)
To access the privacy settings on the Strava website, click your profile icon at the top left. Next, go to Settings > Privacy Controls.
要访问Strava网站上的隐私设置,请单击左上方的个人资料图标。 接下来,转到设置>隐私控制。

On the Strava app, go to the Profile tab, and then tap Settings > Privacy Controls.
在Strava应用程序上,转到“配置文件”选项卡,然后点击“设置”>“隐私控制”。

For the most part, the settings are the same, although there are a few more options available on the website.
在大多数情况下,设置是相同的,尽管网站上还有更多可用选项。
更改您的隐私设置 (Changing Your Privacy Settings)

The most important privacy settings are under “Where You Appear.” You can control who can everything listed here. By default, they’re all set to “Everyone.” Let’s take a look at each of these settings.
最重要的隐私设置位于“出现的位置”下。 您可以控制谁可以在此处列出所有内容。 默认情况下,它们都设置为“所有人”。 让我们看一下这些设置。
“个人资料页” (“Profile Page”)

Your profile page has your name, location, activities, and other personal info. The two options here are “Everyone” or “Followers.”
您的个人资料页面包含您的姓名,位置,活动和其他个人信息。 这里的两个选项是“每个人”或“跟随者”。
If “Everyone” is selected, well, everyone on Strava can see a whole lot about you. According to Strava, anyone can see all of your profile details unless that person is blocked. This includes all of the following information:
如果选择了“每个人”,那么Strava上的每个人都可以看到很多关于您的信息。 据Strava称 ,除非被屏蔽,否则任何人都可以看到您的所有个人资料详细信息。 其中包括以下所有信息:

Also, anyone can follow you without your approval and stay up to date with all your activities. Even if someone doesn’t follow you, your profile page is still visible on the web, which means anyone can see all of the following information:
此外,任何人都可以在未经您批准的情况下关注您,并随时了解所有活动。 即使有人没有关注您,您的个人资料页面仍会在网络上显示,这意味着任何人都可以看到以下所有信息:
- Your full name and location 您的全名和位置
- Your bio 你的生物

- Your activity bar chart 您的活动条形图
- Your total stats for the month (distance, time, and elevation) 您当月的总统计信息(距离,时间和海拔)

If you’re concerned about your privacy, we highly recommend you select “Followers” in the “Who Can See” section, if only so you can approve new followers.
如果您担心自己的隐私,强烈建议您在“谁可以看到”部分中选择“关注者”,前提是您可以批准新关注者。
“活动” (“Activities”)

Anything you record on Strava is an activity. The setting in the “Activities” menu just changes the default privacy setting for your future activities. You always have the option to share or hide each one when you record it. The three options are: “Everyone,” “Followers,” and “Only You.”
您在Strava上录制的所有内容都是一项活动。 “活动”菜单中的设置仅更改您未来活动的默认隐私设置。 录制时,您始终可以选择共享或隐藏每一个。 这三个选项是:“所有人”,“跟随者”和“只有您”。
If you select “Everyone” (the default), your activities are visible on the web if the “Who Can See” menu in your “Profile Page” is also set to “Everyone.” Otherwise, only people logged into Strava can see them. Your activities are also listed in segment and challenge leaderboards.
如果选择“所有人”(默认设置),并且如果“个人资料页面”中的“谁可以看到”菜单也设置为“所有人”,则您的活动将在网络上可见。 否则,只有登录Strava的人才能看到他们。 您的活动也列在细分和挑战排行榜中。
If you select “Followers,” only your followers can see the full details of your activities. However, other Strava members might see a summary of things like your distance and time, depending on your other settings. Your activities won’t appear on segment and challenge leaderboards, though.
如果您选择“关注者”,则只有您的关注者可以看到您活动的完整详细信息。 但是,其他Strava成员可能会看到诸如距离和时间之类的摘要,具体取决于您的其他设置。 不过,您的活动不会出现在细分市场和挑战排行榜上。
If you select “Only You,” your activities are totally private; only you will see them.
如果您选择“只有您”,则您的活动完全是私人的; 只有你会看到他们。
Choose the option that’s most comfortable for you. You can also adjust each activity individually. If you want to use Strava’s most social features and have your leaderboard times listed publicly, though, you have to share those activities with everyone.
选择最适合您的选项。 您也可以单独调整每个活动。 但是,如果您想使用Strava的大多数社交功能并公开列出排行榜时间,则必须与所有人共享这些活动。
If you’d rather only your friends see your workouts, choose “Followers.”
如果您只希望朋友看到您的锻炼,请选择“跟随者”。
“小组活动” (“Group Activities”)
If you train with others, or your route happens to overlap with someone else’s more than 30 percent of the time, and you all post your activities to Strava, they’ll be grouped together. The two settings here are “Everyone” and “Followers.”
如果您与他人一起训练,或者您的路线碰巧在某人的30%时间内与他人重叠,并且您都将活动发布到Strava,则这些活动将被组合在一起。 这里的两个设置是“所有人”和“跟随者”。
If you select “Everyone,” anyone on Strava will see you’re part of a group workout. If you’d rather only people who follow you (or whom you follow) be able to see you’re part of a group, select “Followers.”
如果您选择“所有人”,Strava上的任何人都将看到您参加了小组锻炼。 如果您只希望跟随您的人(或您跟随的人)能够看到您属于某个群组,请选择“关注者”。
“飞越” (“Flybys”)
“Flybys” is an experimental Strava feature that allows you to playback an activity and see who else was near you. If you select “Everyone,” then anyone using this feature will be able to see if you were nearby when they were working out.
“ Flybys”是Strava一项实验性功能 ,可让您播放活动并查看附近还有谁。 如果您选择“所有人”,那么使用此功能的任何人都可以在锻炼时查看您是否在附近。
If you select “No One,” you won’t appear on anyone’s Flyby, nor will you be able to use the feature yourself.
如果选择“无人”,则不会出现在任何人的Flyby上,也无法自己使用该功能。
创建隐私区 (Creating Privacy Zones)

If you want to share your activities so you can compete on leaderboards, but don’t want to risk revealing your home or work address, you can create a Privacy Zone. If your run starts or ends inside a Privacy Zone, that portion of it will be hidden from everyone else.
如果您想分享自己的活动,以便可以在排行榜上一决高下,但又不想冒险透露自己的住所或工作地址,则可以创建一个隐私区域。 如果您的跑步在“隐私区域”内开始或结束,则该部分将对其他所有人隐藏。
To create a Privacy Zone, type the address, and then click “Select Radius” to create the size of your zone. Then, click “Create Privacy Zone.” Go with a bigger zone if you live in a less dense neighborhood.
要创建一个隐私区域,请键入地址,然后单击“选择半径”以创建您的区域的大小。 然后,单击“创建隐私区域”。 如果您居住在人口较少的社区,则选择更大的区域。
Strava automatically randomizes the shape of the zone so your exact location can’t easily be triangulated. To re-randomize the location, click “Regenerate.”
Strava会自动随机化区域的形状,因此您的确切位置不容易被三角剖分 。 要重新随机分配位置,请点击“重新生成”。
调整个人活动的隐私 (Adjusting the Privacy of an Individual Activity)
You can set privacy settings for each activity. For example, you can make your best runs public, but hide your daily training sessions. To customize the settings for a specific activity, just open it in Strava, and then click the Edit icon (the pencil).
您可以为每个活动设置隐私设置。 例如,您可以公开最佳跑步,但隐藏日常训练。 要自定义特定活动的设置,只需在Strava中将其打开,然后单击“编辑”图标(铅笔)即可。

Under “Privacy Controls” you have the following options:
在“隐私控制”下,您可以使用以下选项:
“Who Can See”: Determines whether “Everyone,” only your “Followers,” or “Only You” can see the activity.
“谁可以看到”:确定是“所有人”,只有“跟随者”还是“只有您”可以看到活动。
“Hide Heart Rate Data”: This keeps your heart rate information private.
“隐藏心率数据”:使您的心率信息保密。

编辑过去的活动 (Editing Past Activities)
If you want to change the privacy settings of past activities, go to Settings > Privacy. Under “Edit Past Activities,” select “Activity Visibility,” and then click “Next.”
如果要更改过去活动的隐私设置,请转至设置>隐私。 在“编辑过去的活动”下,选择“活动可见性”,然后单击“下一步”。

You can change the visibility of all past activities to “Everyone,” “Followers,” or “Only You.” Select the option you want, and then click “Next.”
您可以将过去所有活动的可见性更改为“每个人”,“跟随者”或“只有您”。 选择所需的选项,然后单击“下一步”。

Confirm your choice and Strava will update the privacy settings for every activity you’ve recorded. If you’ve just realized how much data you’ve been sharing on Strava, this is a great option.
确认您的选择,Strava将为您记录的每个活动更新隐私设置。 如果您刚刚意识到在Strava上共享了多少数据,这是一个不错的选择。
如何在Strava上阻止某人 (How to Block Someone on Strava)
If there’s someone you want to prevent from seeing any information about your activities, you can block them. Just find the person’s profile on Strava, and then click the Gear icon. Click “Block Athlete,” and then click it again.
如果您想阻止某人看到有关您活动的任何信息,则可以阻止他们。 只需在Strava上找到该人的个人资料,然后单击Gear图标即可。 单击“阻止运动员”,然后再次单击。

易办事项清单 (The Easy To-Do List)
Strava’s settings are a bit convoluted and confusing. If you aren’t interested in exploring which options are right for you, you can just lock down your privacy to only followers. This means you’ll have to approve every new follower.
Strava的设置有些令人费解和混乱。 如果您对探索适合您的选项不感兴趣,则可以将隐私锁定为仅关注者。 这意味着您必须批准每个新的关注者。
To do this, go to Settings > Privacy Controls. Under “Profile Page,” “Activities,” and “Group Activities,” select “Followers.” Then, set “Flyby” to “No One.”
为此,请转到“设置”>“隐私控制”。 在“个人资料页面”,“活动”和“小组活动”下,选择“跟随者”。 然后,将“ Flyby”设置为“ Noone”。
Add a Privacy Zone around your home, workplace, and any other address you don’t want public.
在您的房屋,工作场所以及您不想公开的任何其他地址周围添加一个隐私区域。
Finally, to make sure none of your past activities are public, under “Edit Past Activities,” set “Activity Visibility” to “Followers.”
最后,为确保您以前的活动都不公开,请在“编辑过去的活动”下,将“活动可见性”设置为“关注者”。
Now, your profile is nice and secure. And, if you have a really good run or ride and want it featured on the leaderboard, you can choose to make it public.
现在,您的个人资料安全可靠。 而且,如果您的跑步或骑行真的很不错,并且希望其在排行榜上出类拔萃,则可以选择将其公开。
