Freeze Your Data
You can control access to your data by requesting a data freeze at any time, at no cost. This freeze means many verifiers will be unable to view your data from The Work Number®.

Impacts of a Data Freeze
A data freeze may slow down the application process for a loan, job, or social service benefits. You may also create more work for yourself if you freeze your data. Instead of having to provide pay stubs or bank statements, The Work Number can do that work for you when verifiers can view your data.
