A person's public profile refers to the following properties on the user object by default: id, cover, name, first_name, last_name, age_range, link, gender, locale, picture, timezone, updated_time, verified. On the web, public_profile is implied with every request and isn't required, although the best practice is to declare it. On iOS and Android, you must manually request it as part of your login flow. gender & locale can only be accessed if: The person queried is the person using the app. The person queried is using the app, and is a friend of the person using the app. The person queried is using the app, is not a friend of the person using the app, but the app includes either an app access token or an appsecret_proof argument with the call. timezone & verified can only be accessed if: The person queried is equal to the person making the request.

Your use of email must comply with both Facebook policies and with the CAN-SPAM Act. Note, even if you request the email permission it is not guaranteed you will get an email address.
