Isn't it annoying/illegal that you are prompted to put personal info (phone number) in an opt-out form?

After a confirmation email, I got "Thank you for contacting us to opt-out of the database. We will no longer sell your data." So it's an opt-out form not a request for deletion.

I emailed them at privacy@peopledatalabs.com but no reply yet.

They explain that they encrypt your data to render it unusable so they will likely not be able to give you a copy.
deletion

However do let me know in the comments with what they come back to you with (kinda curious)

Of course! I asked for deletion, not for a copy of my data, even though that would make more sense...
