I don't blame strava for this incident because it's obvious that your information is being sent to them and there must be some onus on users, maybe there should even be some pain until the message sinks in. What isn't obvious is if they are retaining the information or who they are sharing it with, etc. For my non-social uses there is no reason that the data really needs to leave my phone but it does anyway. We need much better consumer laws here and these things need to be made obvious and with explicit permission given by the user for each step. In any case, I've found tech like this is more of a distraction and offers no real value. I'm a lot happier now that I've deleted strava, stopped using fitbit, removed my bike computer and gone back to basics. It feels like I can just go for a bike ride again without having to start recording and analyze all the feedback. It's like that feeling when you throw out all those kitchen gadgets you never used.
