Are you using Facebook Messenger ?
If you have installed the Facebook Messenger app on your phones or device, so there might be the chances that the company has recorded your data in terms of contacts, SMS and call history data and they can have the record of last one year.
This issue has grabbed the attention when Dylan McKay, a New Zealand-based programmer, got 38,000 retweets (at the time of writing), and the tweet was about his experience that how he got his year-old data which includes all the messages as well as incoming and outgoing logs. He found this when he downloaded a zip file from the facebook. It is really shocking.
This issue has earlier also come in media but people didn’t pay a lot of attention and this topic has closed.
