Nextdoor collects everything you post, every message you send to neighbors, and all information you enter on the platform, which becomes part of your personal data profile.
This analysis describes what Nextdoor's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This provision defines the operational scope of data collection practices, establishing that the service captures not only posted content but also private communications between users and form submissions. This establishes the informational basis for the service's functions and any downstream uses authorized elsewhere in the privacy policy.
The updated footer no longer includes a direct link to the 'Do not Sell or Share My Personal Data' page.

You should verify whether this opt-out functionality remains accessible through other menu locations or settings.
