if you're based in Europe, try framing it as a GDPR issue. Article 16 says that data processors have to rectify data that is inaccurate or incomplete within 1 month. If they don't do that, you can raise it to your national privacy ombudsman as an incident. This being Facebook, there is a chance that they'll act on it.
Be sure to CC privacy@facebook.com and legal@facebook.com
Only issue: not sure that the GDPR applies to companies. And it's a 'pro' account I guess?
GDPR protects individuals 'natural persons' and not businesses 'legal persons'
Recital 14 - The protection afforded by this Regulation should apply to natural persons, whatever their nationality or place of residence, in relation to the processing of their personal data. This Regulation does not cover the processing of personal data which concerns legal persons and in particular undertakings established as legal persons, including the name and the form of the legal person and the contact details of the legal person.
>GDPR only comes into effect when the data is stored locally right?
It applies to EU citizens globally. If you store data on EU citizens -- you're expected to comply with GDPR. This will be ineffective for small companies in the US or China but nearly all large companies will have a presence in the EU.
Recital 14 of GDPR is the relevant wording
"The protection afforded by this Regulation should apply to natural persons, whatever their nationality or place of residence, in relation to the processing of their personal data."
GDPR only comes into effect when the data is stored locally right? At my old company we worked on a bunch of private data from American citizens and were always careful to keep it in the cloud, since if we downloaded it onto our local computers we'd have to care about the people's privacy.
Maybe it was just for show.
Nope.
Article 3(1) of GDPR "This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data in the context of the activities of an establishment of a controller or a processor in the Union, regardless of whether the processing takes place in the Union or not."
Recital 14 of GDPR "The protection afforded by this Regulation should apply to natural persons, whatever their nationality or place of residence, in relation to the processing of their personal data."
