A: If you want to download your information from a terminated or disabled Facebook account, it's best to reach out directly to their legal department. They handle requests related to account data and can guide you through the necessary steps. Sending your request there increases the chances it will be processed correctly and efficiently.

When writing your letter, include all relevant details such as your full name, the email associated with the account, and any other identifying information. Clearly state your request to download your data and mention that your account has been terminated or disabled. Providing this information upfront can help expedite the process.

Ensure that your letter is concise and professional. You might also want to include copies of any identification documents if required. Sending your request via a traceable mailing method can provide confirmation that your letter was received. This approach will give you the best chance of successfully accessing your information.
