Yes. New York has no comprehensive consumer data privacy law despite the New York Privacy Act being introduced multiple times. The state's SHIELD Act (2019) is a data security and breach notification law only - it does not provide opt-out, access, or deletion rights for lookup services. Unlike neighboring Connecticut (CTDPA) and New Jersey (NJ-DPA), New York residents have no state-law privacy rights for lookup services. Federal FCRA protections apply here as everywhere: using lookup results to screen job applicants, evaluate tenants, or inform credit decisions is prohibited regardless of New York's lack of a comprehensive privacy statute.
New York doesn't have a consumer privacy law covering phone lookup sites. You can still get your number removed. Look for an opt-out form on each site's privacy page or contact support to request deletion and verify.
Getting a business name from a phone lookup is helpful, but verification is key. With over 540,271 business establishments in New York according to Census data, confirming the company through the New York Business Entity Database is the safest approach.
VoIP numbers are overrepresented in spam because they're cheap and easy to generate. New York has 5.1 million VoIP subscriptions alongside 25.3 million mobile numbers, which means roughly one in six calls could originate from a VoIP service. Scammers favor these because geographic tracing is nearly impossible.
