Facebook makes it possible for you to download all of the information that Facebook has about you. This includes information about when you logged into Facebook and what device you logged in from, what ads you click, topics that Facebook has identified you as being interested in for the purposes of targeting ads toward you, conversation history, places you've checked in to, and much, much more. You have to request an information file from Facebook, which has to generate your information file and will notify you when its ready to download. Facebook will supply your information to you in a ZIP file, which you'll need to unzip to see what's inside of it.

And now, let's walk through the steps to request and download your information from Facebook.

Step 8. Wait for roughly 12 hours to receive an email from Facebook with the subject line Your Facebook Download is Ready. Navigate to the bottom of the email and click the link to start downloading your Facebook data file. You'll be returned to the Download Your Information screen on the Facebook website.
