Garmin Connect Privacy Settings for Connection Challenges

If your Garmin Connect™ account's privacy setting is set to 'Only Me' your steps and activity distance is still visible when competing in a Connection Challenge in Garmin Connect. Challenge participants may include more than just your Connections. Your activity data that matches the challenge goal, such as total steps or running distance, will be shared with challenge participants. If you do not wish to share this information, you may leave the challenge at any time.
