As of March 2026, plaintiffs' attorneys were advertising an investigation into whether Nextdoor shares users' LOCATION DATA with Microsoft for advertising purposes — an unproven allegation; no filed case or finding was located this pass. Nextdoor says in its 2026 investor materials (not re-verified this pass) that it reaches 1 IN 3 US HOUSEHOLDS and is actively expanding AI-driven content personalization — growth funded largely through the same advertising platform this investigation is questioning.

Terms
Arbitration
Nextdoor's member agreement contains an arbitration clause; the investigation above is being pursued as MASS ARBITRATION rather than a class action for that reason.
Data sharing
Mass-arbitration investigation announced by plaintiffs' attorneys (2026; status not re-verified Oct 2026): the attorneys allege Nextdoor uses tracking technology to share users' PRECISE LOCATION DATA with Microsoft, potentially violating state/federal privacy law — notable specifically because Nextdoor is a NEIGHBORHOOD-based platform where precise location is inherently more sensitive/identifying than on a general social network, since users' posts are already implicitly tied to a small geographic radius. Nextdoor's current privacy policy (effective Jan 1, 2026) does explicitly bar children under 13 from using the platform and does offer opt-outs for targeted advertising in certain states.
