This Facebook tool will tell you instantly if your data was harvested by Cambridge Analytica
Didn't get the notification that Facebook promised to send out informing you whether your data was harvested by Cambridge Analytica? Yeah, neither did we.

After clicking on the link, you'll arrive at a page entitled "How can I tell if my info was shared with Cambridge Analytica?"
The section you need to pay attention to is "Was my information shared?"
What you'll see if you were affected by the breach
In my case, Facebook informed me that I didn't log into "This Is Your Digital Life"—the app which shared data with Cambridge Analytica—but a friend of mine did. "As a result, the following information was likely shared with 'This is Your Digital Life': Your public profile, page likes, date of birth and current city."
