Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Letterboxd is a legitimate film-tracking and social app. It normally needs account information and activity data to sync your diary, ratings, reviews, lists, and social interactions across devices. If you use the service, keeping the app is generally fine; just review your profile visibility, sharing choices, and any optional subscription settings if you prefer to limit what others can see.
Recommendation: Keep Letterboxd if you use it to track films, maintain watchlists, or participate in its movie community. If you no longer use the service, you can remove the app, but your local access to its features will be gone until you reinstall and sign in again.
