Notice that they do keep the paper you gave them, and the signature  
they extracted from you very carefully. If they did not you could get  
them to retract that information. That is they need that to defend  
their use of that information. That is trusted a lot because there are  
many channels for disputing what they have in their databases.

Not so with all information on the web.
