A profile is provenance, not a verdict. “Official” describes the publisher and record role. It does not mean that an explainer overrides legislation, that a document answers every factual question or that DPDP.buzz endorses every statement in it.
Every profile includes publisher and instrument identifier; publication and last-checked dates; legal-status note and pinpoint; collection/review method; update and correction trail.
