For alleged personal-data violations or disputed controller/processor decisions connected to Tanzania. The regulations cover Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar, excluding non-Union matters in Zanzibar. Ask PDPC to assess foreign-platform and Zanzibar jurisdiction. This is not a general Meta account appeal.
PDPC can investigate, mediate and order correction, suspension of processing or deletion. It may reject an out-of-scope, time-barred or already-pending case, or one without standing or a cause of action. Admission, compensation and account recovery are not guaranteed.
What to do
Use Form No. 1 in English or Kiswahili. Record any approach to the controller and its response; the form asks about this, but the reviewed rules do not establish a mandatory pre-filing waiting period.
Form No. 1 asks for your and the respondent’s contact details, complaint, requested relief, direct-resolution efforts, other proceedings and a list of supporting documents, with date and signature. Editorial advice: retain relevant URLs, dated screenshots and correspondence; never send passwords or login codes.
Open the official complaint page and follow “File a complaint here”, not controller registration. If the portal is unusable, ask the helpdesk how to lodge Form No. 1 or arrange an oral complaint, which PDPC must put in writing for your signature. Helpdesk email is support, not verified complaint intake.
Checked 5 November 2026: official instructions, regulations and linked portal. The portal returned no readable form text; login, attachments, submission and receipt were not tested. ClearRules collects no complaint documents.
Your connection to the country matters, not your account language. Individual bodies have additional requirements.

No confirmed process outside Meta has been found for this situation
This does not mean you have no rights or other remedies. Our country directory has no confirmed route for this particular issue. Start with the available Meta process, or choose another issue if it also applies to 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.
