Breach-level vs. data subject-level data classes

The Free tier reports which data classes a breach is known to contain (e.g., "this breach exposed emails and passwords"). The Basic tier goes deeper: it reports which data classes were present for each individual data subject. The Professional tier goes furthest -- it confirms data subject-level data classes by cross-referencing against the actual breach source data. This is the difference between knowing a breach contained SSNs and confirming that a specific person's SSN was in that breach.

Which PII fields are used for search vs. validation?

The Professional tier searches across all imported PII fields -- email, name, phone number, address, and SSN. Some fields like date of birth are imported but used for validation purposes only (confirming identity matches), not as search keys for finding breach data subjects.
