These are the categories of Facebook data that are available to you from your account [Table 1] as well as the Download Your Information tool [Table 2].
We store different categories of data for different time periods, so you may not find all data from the time you joined Facebook. You won't find information or content that you deleted because we delete that content from our servers.
Remember, you can access most of the content you post to Facebook by logging in to your account. Also note the categories of data we receive, collect and save may change over time. Learn more about your Facebook data in our Privacy Policy.
