You can for a small fee on some websites get my number.
Heck if you find a phone book from ~2000 where I use to live then you could just look it up in the phone book. Number portability saw to that.
Considering the number of data breaches and past history of phone numbers. To expect any sort of privacy is 'nice to have' but not going to happen. At this point it is basically security thru obscurity to expect it to be private.
Even when they had 'unlisted' numbers you could buy a book from the phone company that had it in there anyway. They even had reverse phone books you could buy. I even remember CD's from ~1998 that had the whole country. You didn't even need to keep the books.
Do I expect it to be private? No.
