They already have a list. You're trusting their service to check against that list not store what you put in.
Ah, but where do they store it? Is there an assurance that they don't?
Serious question BTW.

Searching for an email address or phone number only ever retrieves the data from storage then returns it in the response, the searched data is never explicitly stored anywhere. See the Logging section below for situations in which it may be implicitly stored.
I'm sure they really care. It's not been the first time.
Of course they care, but only for the reason that if this information is leaked for free, FB can no longer sell it!
Would be funny if haveibeenpwned.com experienced a similar breach, should we really be putting information we want to remain private into that website?
It's like password managers, VPN's, Proxies, etc, etc.. don't think for one minute they aren't a great attack vector for nefarious people..
Yes, agreed. I use Chrome to generate and store a random password every time I do a new sign up. This means that nobody actually knows my password, not even me. All accounts are backed by 2fa where possible.
People should always be aware of where they enter their data.. We had a huge push on phishing training in work and the irony of the training company actually breaching their own training on phishing was priceless..
The sad fact is, entering your phone number and/or email address is just allowing a private individual to mine it if they so wish..
