Most Facebook users know that the social network knows a lot about them, but most do not know what that information contains.
Some of the information is obvious, such as things posted on the Internet or information you've added to your profile.
But others, like your interests, IP addresses, face recognition data or photo metadata are not so obvious or not accessible at all from your profile.
So if you want to know what he knows Facebook for you, you can request a copy of your data from the social network to analyze it on your computer.
Of course, the copy does not include everything, but it includes a lot of interesting ones.
Download your personal file from Facebook
The first thing you need to do is a Facebook request to create your personal file:
Sign in to Facebook if you are not already logged in.
Make it click on the arrow icon in the upper right corner and select settings from the menu.
Under General Account Settings, click "Download a copy of your Facebook data."
Click Download File on the next page and enter your password for verification.
Immediately after your request you will receive one e-mail from the social network that will state:
| You recently requested a copy of the data you have registered with Facebook. We'll send you a separate email, which will include a link to download that file, when it's ready. For security reasons, this link will work for a few days from the date it was sent. So be sure to check your email regularly so you can spot our message in time. If the link no longer works when you read the email, you will need to repeat the download process from the beginning. |

| If you did not request to download your information, your account may have been compromised. Visit the Help Center to insure it: https://www.facebook.com/help/203305893040179 |
| Thank you, The Facebook Team |
Facebook creates your file in the background. Depending on how many you have posted the process may take some time.
Once your file is complete and ready to download, you will receive another e-mail that will take you to a page where you can download your file. You will be prompted for your account password again.
Analyze the file
Remove the contents of the zip file into your computer and open the index.htm file with your preferred web browser.

As you can see, not all of the above information is directly accessible on Facebook. The file is the only way to access this data.
It is also a remarkable fact that in this history sent to you by FB they are and that you have said and then you have deleted.
This is the same history that will be sent to authorities if and when legally required…
