Instagram has launched a new tool that lets you download all your photos, videos, comments, likes and contacts. The tool has arrived just as the EU’s new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) law comes into force. One of the GDPR’s key principles is that data subjects (in this case, Instagram users) should be able to request a copy of all their personal data.

Instagram is an American company owned by Facebook, but the fact that it operates in the EU means it must comply with the GDPR or face a fine of up to €20 million (US$24.5 millon, £17.5 million, AU$32 million) or 2% of its annual global turnover – whichever is higher.
