Export a copy of your Meta account and Meta Quest device information
You can export a copy of information associated with your Meta account, Meta Horizon activities and Meta Quest devices. You can export the information to an external service or to your device in a machine readable HTML or JSON format.
Information you can export includes content and information you’ve shared, your activity and information we collect, and information collected by the hardware in your headset and accessories. There are different types of information you can export to your device versus a service.
If you're 10-12 years old (age may vary by region) with a Meta account that’s managed by your parent or guardian, you can ask your parent to help you export your information. Your parent needs to log into your account before following the instructions below.
