docs: clarify what "verified" does and doesn't mean - #60
Merged
Conversation
"Confirmed data brokers with a current first-party privacy email" reads stronger than what the verification pass actually did: it confirms identity and a working contact (plus a CA registry cross-check for most US entries), not that any broker has been sent a request and shown to honor it - no static list can promise that. Says so plainly instead of letting "confirmed"/"verified" imply more than it does.

Small follow-up to #55. The README's "Choosing a broker list" section said the verified list holds "confirmed data brokers with a current first-party privacy email" — accurate about what the research pass did, but a reader could take "confirmed" as a stronger promise (that a broker will actually act on a request) than any static list can make. Adds one paragraph making that explicit.
