It is still PII which sometimes has specific laws and rules around its use depending on where you are.
If I give someone's social security number to a company that doesn't mean they can publish it on the front page just because the person it belongs to didn't hand it over.

It's your phone number (or possibly also the phone number of the person who had it before you) but, like images of yourself, they're probably in tons of places that you don't control and never will.
