As previously announced, we are making significant changes to the way developers certify their access to Meta’s developer platform. This is now being released to general availability and will be rolled out in phases.
Data access renewal is the culmination of developer feedback regarding the compliance experience. Our goal is simple: to provide process that's easy to understand, predictable, and efficient.
Beginning this month, we will start to roll out a new assessment. Once your apps are included in the rollout, you will start to see the new assessment that you will be required to complete. This rollout will continue into next year.
Here’s what you can expect with the new assessment:
As part of our commitment to continue improving Meta’s developer platform, we will be enhancing this assessment over the coming months. We look forward to your feedback.

1. Some developers will continue to receive individual questionnaires until they receive a new assessment. In most cases, if you previously received the Data Protection Assessment, you can expect to receive Data access renewal 10-12 months after you received your most recent Data Protection Assessment. Developers may need to complete the assessment more often if they request access to additional permissions or use cases (i.e. as part of App Review).
