Data & Privacy

This article explains what data Stride collects, how it is used, and what control you have over it.

What data does Stride collect?#

When you connect a device or import files, Stride processes:

• Activity data: GPS tracks, power, heart rate, cadence, speed, elevation, temperature and timestamps.
• Health data: HRV, resting heart rate, breathing rate, weight, sleep, recovery scores and, if you track it, your menstrual cycle, from devices and apps such as WHOOP, Oura, Garmin, COROS, Polar, Apple Health and Health Connect.
• Profile information: your name, email address, photo, date of birth, biological sex and timezone.
• Training data: workouts you create, your calendar, zones, thresholds, comments, voice notes and your conversations with Stride AI.

How is my data used?#

Your data is used to:

• Calculate performance metrics (Training Score, Load, Fatigue, power curves, threshold estimates)
• Power Stride AI (insights, the Training Planner, workout generation and chat)
• Show weather and wind for your activities
• Let your coaches support you, if you join a team

Stride does not sell your data to third parties.

Who can see my data?#

Your activities and training data are private to you by default. The exceptions are:

• Your coaches: if you join a team, its coaches and team admins can see your activities, metrics and calendar, and so can the coaches of any club or organisation that team belongs to. Other athletes cannot.
• Stride's public workouts: workouts in Stride's public library are visible to everyone. Workouts you build are private to you, or to your team if you share them there.

AI features#

When you use insights, the planner or chat, the data needed for that request is sent to the AI model provider that produces the answer. Finished chats are also reviewed by a separate AI model so we can see where Stride AI falls short, and voice notes are transcribed by OpenAI. Our AI providers do not keep your data after responding and do not use it to train their models.

Apps you connect to Stride#

If you give another app or AI assistant access through Settings > API or the Stride MCP server, it can read your training. Data recorded through Garmin is never shared this way, because Garmin's terms do not allow it. You can remove an app's access under Settings > API > Connected apps at any time.

Data from integrations#

When you connect a service like Garmin or Wahoo:

• Stride receives your data through that service's API.
• You can disconnect at any time under Settings > Integrations.
• Disconnecting stops future syncing but does not delete activities already imported.
• To remove that data, delete the activities or your account.

Deleting your data#

You can permanently delete your account and everything in it at any time: activities, workouts, planned sessions, metrics and AI conversations. You leave any teams you belong to, and the teams stay for their other members. Planned workouts Stride sent to Garmin, Wahoo, Zwift or Hammerhead are removed from them too. This cannot be undone.

To delete your account on the web:

1. Go to Settings > Account.
2. Find Danger Zone at the bottom and choose Delete account.
3. Type your email address to confirm, then choose Delete My Account.

In the app, tap your avatar, open General Settings and choose Delete Account.

You are signed out straight away. A web subscription is cancelled for you; cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription in that store as well.
