Facebook asked to "increase your privacy level"?

[the_happy_green_fish]

So the person in question added their mobile number. Her security settings are all private.

She began receiving calls from a random number, and them discovered that Facebook had put her number on her profile without asking. Does anyone know why this has happened? I'm having difficulty finding this online.

She accesses from a computer, not a mobile, so it's not going to be the smartphone issue. Thanks all.
I'm not asking how to increase the security levels. They are as high as they can go. She didn't add it to her profile, she gave the information to Facebook with the understanding that it would be used to increase security, not put on her profile.

I don't want to know how to delete it, that's already been done. I want to know why it happened in the first place.

Launched in 2004, Facebook is an online social network with more than 750 million active users. As a Facebook user, you can control how much information to display on your personal profile. Use Facebook’s “Privacy Settings” to select the level of privacy. To maximize the privacy levels, use the “Custom” option to limit viewing. Your profile’s contact information should not reveal your phone number and address, especially if you have children.
