How a case file comes together

Paper beats panic.

Most people lose weeks clicking “appeal” and waiting. A dated paper trail is what every real route asks for: a court, a data-protection regulator, or an out-of-court review body.

  1. Day 0

    Freeze the facts

    Screenshot the notice, the appeal and every email. Log dates and reference numbers.

  2. Day 1–3

    Send the right letter

    A GDPR access request in the EU and UK, or a pre-suit demand letter in the US.

  3. Day 14–30

    Watch the clock

    Demand windows and the one-month GDPR deadline go on your calendar automatically.

  4. After that

    Escalate on paper

    Small claims in the US; the DPC or ICO in Europe; Appeals Centre Europe for rejected EU appeals.

Questions, answered plainly

Is this legal advice?

No. LockoutCase is a self-help tool, not a law firm, and it is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. It explains public routes and helps you write your own letters.

Will this get my account back?

Nobody can promise that, and you should distrust anyone who does. What the kit gives you is an organised record and the letters that formal routes require.

Do you need my password or login?

Never. Do not give your password or a 2FA code to anyone, including “recovery services”. Meta does not sell reinstatements.

Where is my information stored?

Only in this browser (localStorage). Nothing you type is sent to a server. Clear it any time from the evidence page.

I’m in the EU. Does small claims apply?

The kit points EU and UK users to a GDPR access request first, then a complaint to the Data Protection Commission (Ireland) or the ICO (UK), and Appeals Centre Europe for rejected moderation appeals.

What does it cost?

The quiz, letters, evidence log and deadline tracker are free. A paid Pro kit is planned; checkout is not live.
