Step 6: Behind the Scenes (How We Process Your Request)

  • When a deletion request is sent, Facebook triggers our backend API endpoint (api/facebook/delete/callback/) and passes a signed request.
  • Our backend verifies this signed request, parses the Facebook user ID, and deletes all associated user data from our system based on this ID.
