How do I Opt Out of PhoneNumbers.org Manually?
1) Navigate to the PhoneNumbers.org website here: https://phonenumbers.org/. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the homepage and click on Do Not Sell/Share My Personal Information.
2) On the YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES page, enter your name, email address, the phone number you want to remove, and a short comment about why you want your phone number removed from the PhoneNumbers.org website. Complete the security CAPTCHA, then click SUBMIT.
IMPORTANT: Whenever contacting a data broker, we highly recommend using a disposable email address, and NOT using your own primary email address.
