I'm arguing with Facebook about getting access to the data they have from tracking me as opposed to what's available when you download your profile data at the moment, having closed my account a while back.
I'm literally waiting for the day that GDPR comes into force to exercise my right to be forgotten.
- piqalq 9y agoHow’s that going? I was pretty surprised when I’d downloaded my data to see they hadn’t given me so much of what I know they have...
- iuguy 9y agoPretty badly to be honest[1], seems like their local data protection authority is Ireland, who like to sit on their hands. That's partly why I'm waiting.

- piqalq 9y agoAre you simply wanting to see your data, or do you want it deleted? After GDPR comes in I’m going to be looking into the latter.
- iuguy 9y agoBoth. I want to: 1. See what data they hold. 2. Have it deleted. 3. Formally withdraw consent to the collection of future data. 4. Follow it up in 6-12 months with a subject access request.
- rmc 9y agoI have heard that the facebook "download your data" feature on the website does not give you all the personal data they hold. For that you need to contact them directly (maybe a letter), and quote data protection law to them.
