Due to recent data privacy laws, Facebook users can now request and download their information. While Facebook hides the ability to access your data deep within the website and app, DataEarn makes it easy as a click for you to access your Facebook data. Once you access the page, here are a series of steps that allow you to not only request your data but also leverage DataEarn’s software to understand what information and personal data Facebook collects.

Follow These Steps to Download Your Facebook Data

  1. Click here and click Click “Access Your Data”.
  2. Provide your email address or phone number and password.

3. You will be directed to the Facebook page “Select file options”.

4. Select JSON or HTML files, your preferred media quality, and your preferred date range.

5. Scroll down and click “Start Your Download”.

6. You will receive an email and Facebook notification telling you when your data is ready for download. This may take a couple of minutes or hours, depending on the size of your account.

7. Open the email or notification and click the download button. You now have a copy of your Facebook data.

Once you have access to this folder you will see that Facebook has sent you a copy of your data with hundreds of files that are too much data for the average person to go through. You can either go through each of the files or you can register an account with DataEarn and our algorithms will explain it to you in seconds!

Congrats, you officially have ownership of your Facebook profile! You can view the various categories of data that Facebook has collected from your account.

We also provide this solution for Instagram, Snapchat, Spotify, and Uber!

Things to note

We currently do not process Facebook photos or Facebook Messenger messages. We also provide this solution for other social media platforms and apps such as Spotify, Snapchat, Uber, and Instagram. We utilize our patented algorithms to provide you with the best software and product possible.

What is to come

This summer we plan to add Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, Tinder, and Netflix to our website.

We are in the process of building out a new feature that will allow Facebook users to see an estimate of the amount of Advertisement Revenue generated. Check out your DataEarn card at the end of the month to see your stats and how you compare to the average Facebook user. We are also building out company portals that allow companies to discover their “digital footprint” by combining data across all of their touch points.

We will also be writing more articles about DataEarn!
