I don't even give them a spam email address, just make it and tel no up, they need none of this to give a quote. (and use a browser 'private mode'). Even address - as long as the postcode in your general locality that should be enough. Of course if you end up buying you'll need to supply details, but that will be a separate quote preferably via a cashback site, making sure all marketing opt outs are selected. People just give their details too easily and then are outraged when they are bombarded by junk mail and calls. Personal info is valuable and can, and is, sold.
