- Selecting a Username
- Your username will be associated with all your activity in the Community whenever you post, reply or kudo.

- If at any time you think your username reveals too much personally identifiable information then you can change it immediately by visiting Personal - My settings
- Changes to usernames are reflected on all of your previous community activities as well as future ones.
- Sharing Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
Please read the section in our Community Guidelines which highlights the type of PII information we ask that you don't share in order to protect identifiable information. We have implemented preventative moderation processes which will remove this PII information should you inadvertently post it prior to publishing. These include email addresses, phone numbers and credit card details.
- Image Sharing
Before sharing an image in a post consider what information can be determined about you from that image. If you are concerned it is sharing information that could identify you or your location then don't share it or make changes to conceal that information before sharing.
Deleting your Strava Community Hub Account
If you want to delete your Strava Community Hub account, please note that you cannot personally delete your Community Hub account from the settings. You can turn off all Community Hub notifications and log out of your Community Hub account. By doing so you will no longer receive any notifications or emails but can still maintain your account, just in case you ever want to use it in the future.
To adjust your notifications and subscriptions, sign into the Community Hub, then select your Avatar on the top right of the page and select "My settings". From there, select the "Subscriptions and Notifications" tab, then go to "Notification Settings".
If you prefer to have your Community Hub account deleted, please contact the Community team at stravacommunityhub@strava.com
