Nextdoor's Privacy Policy describes how the platform collects and uses personal information from users of its neighborhood-based social network, including name, verified home address, location data, device identifiers, browsing activity, and posted content. A notably distinct provision is the address-verification requirement, which the policy indicates is used to place users in a specific neighborhood and may be retained even if a user later moves or closes their account. The policy also authorizes sharing of user data with advertising and analytics partners and states that users in certain jurisdictions, including California and EU member states, have rights to access, delete, or opt out of certain data uses.
This document is Nextdoor's Privacy Policy (titled 'Privacy Policy 2026'), governing the collection, use, storage, and sharing of personal information by Nextdoor Inc. across its neighborhood social networking platform, with its stated legal basis rooted in user consent, legitimate interests, and contractual necessity depending on jurisdiction. The policy states that Nextdoor collects identifiers (name, address, email, phone number), location data (including neighborhood verification data), device information, browsing and usage activity, content posted by users, contacts and connections, and inferred interest and demographic data; the terms authorize use of this data for advertising, content personalization, analytics, and sharing with advertising partners, analytics vendors, and service providers. The policy discloses a neighborhood-verification requirement that links user accounts to a specific physical address, a data practice that is operationally distinct from general social platform norms and creates a persistent association between identity and precise residential location. The policy engages GDPR for EU/EEA users, CCPA/CPRA for California residents, and other regional privacy frameworks including those applicable in the UK, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Sweden, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands; compliance obligations vary materially by jurisdiction, and the applicability of specific rights such as erasure, portability, and opt-out of sale or sharing depend on where the user is located.
