Your data
Your data is yours: you can take all of it out, in open formats, at any time, and delete it for good.
What you can export
Section titled “What you can export”All from Settings › Export:
| Export | What it holds | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Complete archive (JSON) | Everything: profile and photo, settings and consents, every library, history (film rewatches included), every playthrough and reading with their sessions, reviews, comments, lists and what you added to others’, follows, activity, XP and achievements, signed-in sessions, security log | A full backup, or to keep your data before leaving |
| One library (CSV) | One domain as a flat table, one title per row | A spreadsheet, or another app that imports CSV |
| For Letterboxd (CSV) | Your films seen, rewatches included, and your watchlist | Moving your films to Letterboxd |
| For Goodreads (CSV) | Your books with their shelves and rereads; abandoned books on a “did-not-finish” shelf | Moving your books to Goodreads |
The complete archive lists your API keys, passkeys and the browsers that get your notifications, but never their secrets: no key, no password hash, no private link.
The Letterboxd and Goodreads files can include your review texts if you ask: they then become public there, even the ones you keep to your friends here. Your private notes are never in them.
Automatic backups
Section titled “Automatic backups”To save the complete archive every night without thinking about it, use the API: it serves the same JSON.
Deleting your account
Section titled “Deleting your account”Settings › Delete my account erases your account at once, after you confirm with your password. Before confirming, you can see exactly what is deleted and what stays:
- Right away: every session is closed; API keys and passkeys stop working.
- Deleted: your profile, libraries, history, playthroughs, readings and their sessions, a running timer, lists only you edit, follows, blocks, votes and reactions, notifications, activity, XP and achievements, saved views, settings, devices, API keys, passkeys, two-factor methods and recovery codes, push subscriptions and any premium plan. Notifications other members got about you go too.
- Kept without your name: your reviews and their earlier versions, comments, the works you added to other members’ lists, your reports and your import history (without its details), shown as from a “Deleted user”, so what others took part in still makes sense.
- Handed over: a list you edit with others passes to its earliest editor instead of disappearing.
- Kept by the instance: the security log, stripped of IP addresses and of details such as a former email address or a device name, and any moderation decision about you — with the copy of a comment it removed — without your identity. An invitation sent to your address forgets it. Backups erase themselves within 30 days and are never used to bring an account back.
There is no undo: export first if you might want your data back.
Inactive accounts
Section titled “Inactive accounts”An account left unused for two years gets an email: it will be deleted a year later unless you sign in once before then.
