AWS data-exchange documentation change

Service: data-exchange · 2025-04-11 · Documentation low

File: data-exchange/latest/userguide/subscription-verification-sub.md

Summary

Simplified subscriber documentation by removing specific references to compliance reasons and personally identifiable data requirements

Security assessment

While subscription verification remains a security feature, the changes remove explicit mentions of compliance motivations and PII handling rather than adding new security documentation. The core security functionality remains but isn't enhanced by these changes.
