In the specific case of Selena, she already has that access, since
she's a "web slave".

As for the original question, there was an idea years ago to have the
system send an emali to the companies at regular interval asking them
to reconfirm their information. It got as far as a field in the
database, which was migraed onto the new website as well I believe.
But the actual reconfirmation process hasn't been implemented yet...
