It does have a real time tracking feature. I don’t use it, I use the built in Garmin. But you can enable this and anyone following you can see your activity in real time.

I find the bigger security issue is recording close to home, so people can theoretically see where you live and know what sort of expensive sports equipment you might have.

Last time I checked, the real time tracking was disabled by default and could only be enabled only for specially selected contacts, but it's been a while since I checked.

And if someone shows off their expensive bikes on social media (and that's what Strava is, among other functions)... well, it makes it known to others that they own expensive bikes. Social media has been around for long enough that its users should be aware that this kind of behaviour may impose certain risks.

People publishing an online catalog of fancy sport equipment for thieves isn’t good indeed. I find military people running around infrastructures in secret military bases a bigger strava security issue.
