TXT is a DNS record, which contains data in human-readable form for external sources to gain info about a particular domain name or subdomain. In the most common scenario, such a record is used to prove that you own a domain name if you are trying to add it to a search engine or to some traffic analytics platform. Considering that only the domain owner/administrator can add custom DNS records, the TXT record functions as a proof of ownership for the business offering the service. Another popular use for this type of records is the email SPF (Sender Policy Framework) protection, which makes sure that an email address shall not be spoofed and that people will not receive unsolicited mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record includes information about the mail server where your digital messages originate from and serves as validation that it's a reliable one. Since there are no regulations about the content of this sort of a record, you could add any other info as well.
