Privacy Policy — Strava Assistant
Last updated: 22 September 2026
Strava Assistant does not send your data anywhere. There are no servers, no accounts, no analytics, and no third parties. Everything happens inside your browser.
What the extension handles
Google asks developers to disclose data handling even when it is entirely local and nothing is transmitted. Three things are handled locally.
1. Page content on strava.com
To do its job the extension reads the Strava feed in the page: which kudos buttons exist, whether each has already received a kudos from you, which athlete each belongs to, and whether an entry is an activity, a personal post or a club post. This is read from the page you are already looking at, held in memory for the length of the run, and discarded. It is never written to disk and never leaves your browser.
2. Network response status on strava.com
The extension observes the HTTP status codes of requests the Strava page itself makes,
so that a rate-limit response (HTTP 429) pauses the run instead of continuing to click.
Only the status code, the URL path and the Retry-After header are read.
Request and response bodies are never read. This is held transiently in memory and
never stored or transmitted.
3. Settings you enter
The choices you make in the extension's popup — which entry types to include, your skip
list, the dry-run toggle, and the timing values — are saved with
chrome.storage.local so they persist between sessions. They stay in your
Chrome profile on your device.
What the extension does not do
- It does not transmit any data anywhere. The extension makes no network requests of its own.
- It has no server, no backend, and no account system.
- It contains no analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, or advertising.
- It does not sell, rent, or share data with anyone, because it has no data to share.
- It does not read or run on any site other than
https://www.strava.com/*. - It does not touch passwords, cookies, payment details, or your Strava credentials.
- It does not read your browsing history or your activity in other tabs.
Where data is stored and how to delete it
Settings live in chrome.storage.local, part of your local Chrome profile.
Uninstalling the extension removes them. You can also clear them at any time through
Chrome's settings.
Permissions and why they exist
storage— to remember your settings between sessions. Nothing else is stored.https://www.strava.com/*— the extension's entire function is performed on the Strava feed. It runs nowhere else.
Children
The extension is not directed at children and collects nothing from anyone.
