I am surprised Zwift didn’t do a bit more due diligence on Runtastic. Why would I give them all my 12,000 contacts?
That look like a Runtastic setting not a Zwift setting.
yeah, not sure what this has got to do with zwift?
my guess would be it is used to share your activities once you have done them? not used it myself but if there is a social element to their app that will likely be the reason
There are Zwift rides associated with a COVID-19 fundraising event. Tells you to sign up with Runtastic to take part.
This is why it is a Zwift issue, this email was sent out on the 30th of May:

Normally I’d recommend a person just create a throwaway Gmail account but Google has gotten a lot sneakier about linking all Google accounts used on a PC so that’s probably risky as well. It never really concerned me until noticing that Chrome on my work PC linked up to my personal accounts one day after logging into YouTube…
google own youtube so signing into youtube is effectively signing into google and their associated products.
