What this software does

The website at chice.pages.dev/letterboxd lets you search films across people you follow on Letterboxd. A browser extension (“chice Letterboxd fetch”) loads Letterboxd pages and poster images in your browser so that search can run. Cloudflare Pages cannot load those pages from its own servers.

The tools also run without the extension using one fixed example dataset held on chice's servers, so the tools can be tried before installing anything. See “Example data on our servers” below.

What is fetched

The extension requests public Letterboxd pages and poster files you ask the tools to load, such as:

• your following list
• ratings and reviews listings
• film posters from letterboxd.com and ltrbxd.com

You do not need to be logged into Letterboxd. If you already have Letterboxd cookies in this browser, the extension sends them with those requests (the same as visiting the site yourself). Letterboxd HTML is parsed on the Letterboxd Tools page. It is not sent to Cloudflare or to chice servers.

What chice stores

Search results, following lists, and related data stay in this browser (for example IndexedDB / localStorage). They are not uploaded to chice. The tools page has a Clear All Data button in the header that deletes everything you have scraped, and clearing this browser's site data does the same.

The website may also record short search-error summaries so that blocked fetches can be diagnosed and fixed, for example the kind of error ("blocked"), the kind of page, and the Cloudflare edge location. These summaries contain no usernames and no data that identifies you or any Letterboxd account. They are diagnostics only: they are never sold, never used for advertising, and they are the only thing that leaves your browser.

The extension requests Letterboxd pages using the Letterboxd cookies already in this browser, which means Letterboxd receives those requests just as it would if you visited the site yourself. Letterboxd's own privacy policy covers how they handle that.

Example data on our servers

So that the tools work without the extension, chice publishes one fixed example dataset. It is the following list, ratings and public reviews of a single Letterboxd account and the accounts that one account follows. It was collected once, from pages any visitor can see on Letterboxd, and it is identical for every visitor. It contains public Letterboxd usernames and review text written by people other than you.

Nothing you do is added to it. That dataset is read-only. There is no path by which a search you run, a following list you load, or any result you produce is written to it or to any other server-side store. A search you run yourself is fetched by your browser and kept in your browser, exactly as described above. The only difference when the example dataset is in use is that its rows were fetched earlier rather than now.

You can tell which you are seeing: a search you run yourself needs the extension and names the account you typed. The example dataset appears on its own, for the fixed example account, with no extension installed.

If you are the owner of the example account or of a review inside it and would like it removed, contact us at the address below and it will be taken down.

Limited Use

chice Letterboxd fetch complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Letterboxd pages and poster images accessed by the extension are used only to provide the tool's single purpose on your own device. They are never sold, never transferred to third parties, and never used for personalised or interest-based advertising.

Permissions

The extension asks to access letterboxd.com and ltrbxd.com so it can fetch those pages and posters. It rewrites the Referer header on poster requests so Letterboxd’s image CDN will serve the file. If a fetch is blocked, it may open a letterboxd.com tab in this browser so Letterboxd can set access cookies. It does not scrape that tab, and it does not read your general browsing history.
