A pay to win method is using a service like Optery that you pay and they remove you from hundreds of data brokers, sometimes by hand.

and what does Optery then do with the data I provide them with while signing up?

If you believe their privacy policy, nothing.

Optery does not sell or rent personal information to any third parties for any purpose. Optery is not a data broker. Optery does not have any financial relationship with any data broker. Optery is not affiliated with any data broker.

Sadly you need to reach out to the caller ID app developers and ask them to remove your info.
