What is a deletion token?
A deletion token is a private code shown when you create a share link or saved report. It lets you remove that saved item later without creating an account.
What it does
- It proves that you are the person who received the deletion option when the share link or saved report was created.
- It is used only for deleting the saved share or report connected to that specific item.
- It is not a password for signing in, and PetLifeYears does not use it to identify you across the site.
Where to find it
- The token appears after you choose to create a share link or saved report.
- It is displayed together with the share or report link, before you leave the result screen.
- If you created the link while signed in, open Records in your dashboard to view its deletion token. For older links, you can generate a replacement; the previous token will stop working.
How to keep it
- Store it somewhere private if you may want to delete the saved item later.
- Do not include it when you send someone the public share link.
- If the token is lost, the public share or report can still be viewed by people who have the link, but the self-service deletion form cannot verify the deletion request.
