Just make an experiment. Type your home phone number in the Google Search Box and hit Google Search Button. What do you see? Surprise! Surprise! Most likely, you got your name, address, and a link to a map of where your house is. It might be handy, if your friends are looking the best way to get to your party, and might not be so convenient if the individuals you do not want to see suddenly appear on your doorstep.
To remove your number from the listing, go to the following page and fill the required information: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/pbremoval.html. Note, that this operation will not remove your data from other directories. However, because of the highest levels of Google’s popularity, removing it just from Google Phonebook would be already a significant step towards keeping your personal information private.
