# Download Your Strautomator Data — GDPR Data Export

> Export a full copy of your Strautomator data — automations, GearWear configs, history, and preferences — as a downloadable JSON archive.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and equivalent privacy laws, you have the right to receive a copy of all personal data that Strautomator holds about you. The data export feature lets you download everything in a structured, machine-readable format at any time, at no cost, directly from your account page.

## What Is Included in the Export

The downloaded archive contains all data that Strautomator stores under your account:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Automations (Recipes)" icon="wand-magic-sparkles">
    Every automation you have created, including conditions, actions, names, and enable/disable status.
  </Card>

  <Card title="GearWear Configurations" icon="gear">
    All your GearWear component definitions, distance and time thresholds, and current component totals.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Account Preferences" icon="sliders">
    All settings from your Account → Settings page: language, units, privacy preferences, weather provider, and more.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Automation History" icon="clock-rotate-left">
    The log of automations that have run against your activities, within your plan's history retention window.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Personal Records" icon="trophy">
    Your tracked personal records for each supported sport and record type.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Calendar Settings" icon="calendar">
    Your Strautomator calendar configuration and any custom calendar preferences (PRO).
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## About the Export Format

The archive uses **JSON** (JavaScript Object Notation) — a plain-text, structured format that is both human-readable and easy to import into other tools. Each data category (automations, GearWear, preferences, history, records) is stored in its own clearly labelled section or file within the archive.

```json theme={null}
{
  "account": { ... },
  "recipes": [ ... ],
  "gearwear": [ ... ],
  "activityHistory": [ ... ],
  "personalRecords": { ... }
}
```

You can use any JSON viewer (such as [jsonviewer.stack.hu](https://jsonviewer.stack.hu)) or a code editor like VS Code to browse the contents.

If you have questions about how your data is processed, or wish to request erasure, refer to the [Close Account](/account/close-account) guide or contact Strautomator support.
