Facebook Begins Broad Rollout of Data Use Checkup

Developers will have 60 days to comply once they are enrolled

Facebook will begin broadly rolling out the Data Use Checkup workflow for developers and their applications that it began testing in April.

The social network onboarded “a small set of apps” in April, and director of platform partnerships Konstantinos Papamiltiadis said in a blog post Thursday that it will gradually roll out in waves over the coming months.

Data Use Checkup will prompt developers to review the permissions that their apps have access to and commit that their application-programming interface and data use comply with Facebook’s platform terms and developer policies.

When developers are enrolled in Data Use Checkup, they will be notified via developer alert, email to the registered contact and in the task list of App Dashboard.
