Personal.

How does "a valid working phone or email address" suddenly turn into "my 
home address"? You're not going to drive up here to fix the problem 
yourself, are you?

These days, an email address should be more than sufficient. After all, 
most of my phone service comes in on the same Internet that my email does.

Right. So you need a contact means. Not my home address.
