Deactivating your Letterboxd account

If you wish to deactivate or permanently delete your Letterboxd account, you may do so from the Settings page on this site, or from the Settings screen of our iOS or Android apps (this action requires your password). The profile and content of deactivated accounts are hidden from view for all members, the account username is made available for other members to use, and signing into the account is disabled. Deactivated accounts remain in this state until reactivated by you (using a link we’ll email you). Our support team can assist with reactivating an account if you haven’t received, or no longer possess, the reactivation link (unless the account has been permanently deleted, as described below).

Permanent deletion

As part of the deactivation process, you may optionally request that we permanently delete your account and all its associated data. If you select the permanent-deletion option, your account will be scheduled for removal in 90 days, during which time it may still be reactivated. We’ll email you a reactivation link immediately, and follow up with an additional email link that you can use to reduce the timeframe for permanent deletion to 30 days. There is no way to have an account permanently removed from our service in less than 30 days, as a safety precaution. Once your account is permanently deleted, it cannot be recovered by you or by Letterboxd support.
