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.

What to do after applying
No reply yet
Regulation 14 provides for an attempt at amicable settlement within 30 days of filing, not guaranteed final resolution. The initial filing limitation period was not established; time-barred complaints can be rejected. Ask PDPC promptly about applicable deadlines.
Your application was not accepted
Read the reason. A case outside the body’s powers, missing documents and a decision against your claim call for different next steps. Correct the stated gaps or follow the appeal instructions in the reply. Check the appeal deadline before submitting again.
You have a reply, but the issue remains
Keep the complaint, receipt and reference; follow all directions and hearing dates. Regulations 25–26 provide 21-day review and High Court appeal routes; the appeal runs from delivery of the award. Seek prompt case-specific advice on the applicable route and time calculation.

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.
