I got my domain name from Godaddy a few days ago, and got the call just now - does this mean that Godaddy leaks info? Not liking this - should I cancel and get it from elsewhere? They already have my contact info anyway, but still....................

They steal numbers from GoDaddy and try to sell Website services.  Guy with thick Indian became rude.  Block these guys!

Got call from     469-294-3890

They got it from your domain registration.  Go to whois [dot] domaintools [dot] com [slash] your-domain-name.com and you can see your name, address, phone number and email address.

This is why you should either use a "proxy" (hidden) registration option, or your job title and company name rather than your actual name, when registering a domain name.  Also, set up a Google Voice (go to voice [dot] google [dot] com and register and get a free phone number that you can have forward to your real number during the registration process, but then automatically send the calls to Google's built-in voicemail (without ringing your real phone) from then on.

You probably will NOT get calls due to the renewal.  Usually, these marketers only look for NEW registrations.
