Creation to 2011-07-11 19:06:24 UTC About Me. Shows the text the user typed into the “about me” section. Account End Date. This very likely saves the date that an account is scheduled for deletion. Note: Facebook does not delete accounts right away. If a user ‘requests’ it, the account is first deactivated and is then deleted after a 14 day period. Account Status History. Logs all activations/deactivations of an account, including date and time. Note: This activation/deactivation information is kept even though it is not necessary after the account was reactivated. Example:

...

... Chat. This section showed some old chat conversations. All data was rather recent, which means that chat messages were deleted sooner or later. It is unclear if this section is still existing after facebook recently merged its chat and messaging function into one, but seems if all chat messages are now following the rules of normal messages. Note: According to facebook’s privacy policy messages will never be deleted . Example:

Only if you “remove” the event by clicking on a little link on the bottom of the page the event will be deleted. Examplee:

Site JABBER Machines. Facebook is placing a cookie on every computer that connects to it. A cookie is a ‘tag’ with a specific number that facebook can read every time you connect with them. Besides tracking, facebook is also using this information in order to match users and computers. By doing so, they get a list of every computer that someone has logged onto facebook and all users that have used this computer. In the field ‘seen count’ the number of visits of ever user is saved, this enables facebook to estimate who is the main user of a computer. Note: If cookies are deactivated, facebook will generate another machine every time you visit facebook. Example:
