The updated footer no longer includes a direct link to the 'Do not Sell or Share My Personal Data' page. Previously, this link provided quick access to California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) opt-out controls from the footer menu. Users can likely still access these controls through the main Privacy Policy page or dedicated privacy settings, but the removal eliminates a prominent, footer-based navigation shortcut. You should verify whether this opt-out functionality remains accessible through other menu locations or settings.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you live in California, you can formally request to see what data Nextdoor holds about you, ask for it to be deleted, correct inaccuracies, and opt out of your data being shared with advertising partners, including for cross-context behavioral advertising.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    California residents can submit a data access, deletion, correction, or opt-out of sale/sharing request through the privacy request portal linked in Nextdoor's Privacy Policy. Navigate to the Privacy Policy page and use the 'Submit a Request' link or contact privacy@nextdoor.com.
