A work in progress.
Ever curious about which websites and apps let you download a copy of your own data? Here's a list of them with a link to complete the download process, as well as a brief description of what you'll be returned. Most of these sites take some time to compile and return a downloadable source to you (a number of hours or up to a few days).
List of sites compiled thus far:
- Spotify
- Snapchat

How do I download a copy of my information on Facebook? (Help Center article)
What
Facebook will let you select a date range, file format (HTML or JSON), and a media quality (high/medium/low).

It defaults to select all of your information.
