Freeze Your Data
You may control access to your information by requesting a data freeze at any time, at no cost. A data freeze limits access so that many verifiers will be unable to view your information through The Work Number®. Please note that a data freeze may delay the processing of loan applications, employment verifications, or social services benefit requests. If you wish to proceed, please complete the Data Freeze Form to get started or call The Work Number® at 1-800-367-2884.
