Access or protect personal data (1)

  • Komisioneri për të Drejtën e Informimit dhe Mbrojtjen e të Dhënave Personale (IDP)Regional route · check eligibility

    Albania: complain to IDP about unlawful processing of your personal data or an unresolved data-rights request under Law 124/2024. Identify the concrete data issue, not merely loss of account access.

    Independent public data-protection authority, not an NGO or a general account-appeal service. Article 4 covers Albanian establishments and foreign controllers offering services to people in Albania or monitoring behaviour there. For Meta, identify the responsible entity and this connection; jurisdiction is not automatic. No guaranteed account reinstatement.

    What to do
    1. For an unresolved data-rights request, contact the controller first and keep the request, delivery evidence and reply. The normal response period is 30 days from the controller’s receipt of the request; Article 12 permits a reasoned extension notified within those 30 days. A moderation appeal alone is not a data-rights request.
    2. Complete your identity/contact details, controller name and address, alleged violation, requested remedy and available evidence. Date and sign the form; include the required ID copy for email/post and any representative’s authority. Do not send passwords or recovery codes.
    3. No general filing deadline was verified. Keep receipt evidence. Article 87 provides administrative-court recourse for failure to handle the complaint or give a progress update within 90 days; this is not a promised final-decision time. Check the decision’s court, deadline and calculation instructions promptly.

    Download the complaint form from the authority’s website. ClearRules does not collect your identity documents or submit the complaint for you.

Does every country have an account-recovery route?

We have not confirmed that every country has an account-recovery process outside Meta. This directory covers the listed countries, with options for data, payments, harmful content and, where available, account restrictions and court claims. Several links do not mean several ways to restore an account. We state when no suitable option has been found.

The review covers the entries in this directory. It does not establish that every possible route has been found. An accessible page, an applicable procedure and a successful outcome are different things.

How to use this directory

Different bodies handle different issues. A refused data request, a payment dispute and an account appeal involve separate procedures. Choose the one that matches your situation. The body you contact decides whether to accept the case and what action to take.

Each card shows when its sources were researched. No real complaints were submitted.

Country and topic appear in the page address. Do not upload documents, passwords or codes here.
