Visibility you control
Everyone, followers, or nobody. Per activity.
Every ride and run has its own audience, and photos have their own on top. Defaults you set once. Overrides you set per upload. Home and work cut out of the map before the track is ever stored. No surprise leaderboards.
- Everyone
- Followers
- Only you
- Photos, on their own dial
Three audiences. One picker.
Each activity gets exactly one audience, and every photo on it can sit tighter. Change your mind whenever you like - including retroactively, in bulk.
- Everyone
The public feed, your profile, and the segment leaderboards. It is the only tier whose times get ranked against everybody else - that is the trade.
- Followers
People who follow you. Turn on follow approval and nobody joins that list without your say-so. Followers rides stay off the public leaderboards.
- Only you
Nothing leaves the account. The ride still counts toward your own training load and every number on your own analysis of it - it just has no audience.
- Photos, on their own dial
Media follows the ride by default, or set its own tier - account-wide and per photo. A public ride can carry a followers-only photo.
How the controls actually work
Two defaults, set once
Settings holds one default for activities and one for media. Leave media on "follows the ride" and you never think about it again.
Overrides per activity
Every upload has its own audience picker. Override the default for a specific ride - say, you don't want the coffee-and-cake recovery spin on the public feed.
Retroactive bulk changes
Changed your mind about how public last season was? Select up to 100 rides at a time on /activities and re-tier them in one action, or flip every ride you own at once from /settings/privacy.
Map privacy is its own layer
Drop a pin on home and on work. Everything inside the radius - 500 m by default - is cut out of the track, and the first and last 250 m are trimmed too. It happens at upload, before the track is ever stored, not at render time.
What visibility controls do, and what they don't.
Visibility settings control who sees your activity by name in the social feed and on leaderboards. They do not opt you out of NeverChill using activity data - including private activities - to power community features and train our models in aggregate. For that, use the AI training opt-out in /settings/privacy. See the Privacy Policy for the full picture.
FAQ
Do private activities still show up on community leaderboards?
No - and neither do followers-only ones. A ride has to be Public for its times to land on a public segment leaderboard at all. Anything narrower is scored for you and nobody else.
Who counts as a follower?
Anyone who follows you. Switch on follow approval in /settings/privacy and every new follow becomes a request you approve or decline, so the followers tier is a list you actually curate. Block anyone and the visibility cuts both ways immediately.
Can my coach see activities I marked private?
Yes. An active coaching relationship sees every ride you own, whatever tier it carries - that is the point of handing someone your training. Nobody else gets that, and it ends when the relationship does. If a session is nobody else's business, end the coaching relationship or leave it off the platform.
Can I keep my address private but still appear on leaderboards?
Yes. Pin home and work in Settings, map privacy. Points inside the radius - 500 m out of the box, yours to set anywhere from 50 m to 20 km - are dropped from the track, and the first and last 250 m of the ride are trimmed on top. The rest of the ride, and your time on every segment in it, still counts.
Does NeverChill use my private activities for training models?
Yes. Per the Terms and Privacy Policy, all activity data - including private - may be used to train our models and produce aggregate insights. Your identity is never tied to those outputs without a separate consent path. If you want to opt out of training entirely, you can in /settings/privacy.
