Following a complaint by one of its users, Facebook is to be investigated by the Information Commissioner's Office. The user was unable to fully delete their information from Facebook servers.
Facebook allows you to deactivate your profile making it inaccessible. However, the profile information is kept on the servers in case the user wishes to reactivate their account!
Facebook noted that its policy is in "full compliance with UK data protection law".
"We take the concerns of the ICO [Information Commissioner's Office] and our user's privacy very seriously and are committed to working with the ICO to maintain a trusted environment for all Facebook users and ensure compliance with UK law,"
