Angi shares user contact data with contractors after cancellation

Users who cancel home service projects on Angi continue to receive calls from contractors throughout the day and week because Angi ignores opt-out requests and says data sharing "is just how it is." This is a structural consent and data control problem on lead-gen marketplaces that creates harassment and potential TCPA/GDPR compliance exposure.

Small business owners who decline services from lead generation platforms like Angi report receiving ten or more follow-up calls despite clear opt-out signals. There is no effective mechanism to stop contact after a definitive refusal.

This mass phone number sharing without adequate consent disclosure violates consumer privacy expectations and causes severe quality-of-life disruption. It reflects a structural business model conflict between lead monetization and consumer protection.

Angi Home Services Spams Users After Signup With No Local Contractor Results
