Summary

Nextdoor's privacy policy explains what personal information the platform collects about you—including your physical address and, if you grant permission, your precise location—and how it may be used or shared with advertisers, law enforcement, governments, and the public. Content you post on Nextdoor can be seen by a wide audience, including search engines and government agencies, and may include your personal information. By continuing to use Nextdoor, you are treated as having consented to your personal information being transferred and processed outside your home country.

Analysis

This privacy policy establishes how Nextdoor collects, uses, shares, and retains personal information across its platform. Nextdoor collects personal information directly from users at registration—including name, email address, and physical address—and also receives personal information about non-registered individuals from Members' contact lists, as well as from advertisers, businesses, and advertising partners. Nextdoor may use this information, along with neighborhood demographics and behavioral signals, to customize advertising, and may share personal information including hashed emails and advertising identifiers with advertising partners where applicable law permits. The document further establishes that user-generated content may be visible to the general public, governments, search engines, and private parties, and that Nextdoor may disclose content and personal information to law enforcement, government authorities, and private parties based on its own good-faith belief that a valid, binding legal request warrants it.

What this means for you

Using Nextdoor means your personal information—including your physical address, behavioral activity, and potentially your precise location if you grant permission—may be used to tailor advertising and may be shared with advertising partners, law enforcement, governments, and private parties. Even if you have never registered for Nextdoor, your personal information may be collected if a Member shares their contact list with the platform. Content you post may be indexed by search engines and accessed by the general public and government agencies. If you log in through a third-party service such as Facebook, Google, or Apple, that login constitutes your authorization for that service to share your personal information with Nextdoor. Users who wish to limit precise geolocation use can decline or revoke device-level location permission.
