Access or protect personal data (1)

  • Autoridad Nacional de Transparencia y Acceso a la Información (ANTAI)Regional route · check eligibility

    ANTAI is Panama’s public data-protection authority. Use this route for a complaint about processing your personal data, including denied access or correction. It does not replace an ordinary Instagram or Facebook account appeal.

    ANTAI investigates data-law violations and may take measures within its powers. A complaint does not guarantee account restoration, content removal or payment. Article 37 assigns damages claims to the courts; an ordinary moderation dispute remains a separate issue.

    What to do
    1. Check the Panama connection: Decree 285, article 2 covers a local database or controller, data originating or stored in the country, and online commercial activity directed at the Panamanian market. Identify the responsible entity and connection. Citizenship or residence alone does not establish jurisdiction over a Meta dispute.
    2. For access or correction, send the controller a specific request through its official channel and retain its date, text and reply. Law 81 allows 10 working days for access and 5 for correction. Non-response can be taken to ANTAI; these are not complaint-investigation deadlines.
    3. Prepare your name, cédula number, full address, telephone and email, the responsible party, a timeline, and evidence or where it can be obtained. The inspected web form requires a cédula copy; ask ANTAI how to proceed with another identity document. Do not send passwords or login codes; ClearRules does not receive documents.
    4. Choose an official channel: the published form, a written complaint to protecciondedatos@antai.gob.pa, or in-person delivery at the ANTAI address in its FAQ. The FAQ also lists Smart CID. A lawyer is not mandatory for filing and following an administrative complaint. We only read the form; submission and receipt were not tested.
    5. Keep proof of filing and the case reference; ask ANTAI for progress if nothing arrives. To challenge a decision, article 36 provides reconsideración to the Directorate and an appeal to the Director General: a five-day period to substantiate the challenge starts on the next working day after notification. Check the notice and appeal instructions promptly.

    Public instructions and form fields were checked on 31 October 2026, not complaint submission. The form asks for a cédula and copy: that neither proves all foreigners are excluded nor confirms acceptance of any foreign document. Check your individual case with ANTAI.

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.
