What categories of my Facebook data are available to me?
Tip: Learn how to download a copy of your Facebook information using the Download Your Information tool.
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 content deleted from your account is also deleted from Facebook servers.
Remember, most of your Facebook data is available to you by logging into your account. Also note the categories of data we receive, collect, and save may change over time. We'll update these tables if that happens.
