This provision establishes a data collection pathway for individuals who have not consented to Nextdoor's terms of service, raising transparency and lawful basis obligations under GDPR and equivalent frameworks; the policy states non-members may contact privacy@nextdoor.com to inquire about their data, but does not describe proactive notice mechanisms for affected individuals.
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.
