: Am I allowed to save basic user data from Facebook in my own web app's database? In general my app deals with data that is unrelated to Facebook but also includes a Graph API based app.

The Facebook platform policy explains the rules. In particular:


You may cache data you receive through use of the Facebook API in
order to improve your application’s user experience, but you should
try to keep the data up to date.

...

By “basic account information” we mean: name, email, gender, birthday, current city, and profile picture URL.


So you can store it, but if they change their email address then you need to pick up that change.
