I have a question, what do companies do with your phone number ? can they trace who you are and what you do ?

    One thing I would suspect is they leverage third parties and share your phone number to get back additional known data about you or your interests or other activities which other companies have shared. I think in a way it ends up being a connection point for your data across many places.

      Do you have any reason to believe this other than “corporations bad”?
