>So are telephone numbers and addresses considered very private in the US?
Very private? Not usually. Unless someone chose (and paid) to have them unlisted, they used to be in published whitepages. And the overwhelming majority of people didn't pay to have them removed.
Today cellphone numbers are typically more private although addresses for most people are still usually pretty easy to find and are often part of a public record that can be searched.
