Facebook token - Data Access Expiry

I've managed to get a Access Token that doesn't expire, however I've noticed that Data Expiry does have about a 3-month expiry lifespan on it.

From reading Facebook's own documentation, it appears that the access is based on when the user is last active.

Facebook Login also enables you to ask for permissions when people log in to your app. These permissions, if granted by the user, give your app access to items of user data. For example, your app can access a user's name and profile photo.

If an app asks for permissions, it is often necessary to put the app through app review so that Facebook can make sure that data is not misused. Your app can ask for people's name and photo (the default profile fields) and for email without going through app review, but all other permissions require review. For lists of permissions and which ones require app review, see Permissions Reference.

Does this mean that as long as I log into my Facebook profile that's linked - my Data Access will be extended? `

It looks like the token gets extended if it's being consistently used.

It's not related to logging in to your FB profile, but logging in to your app.
