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.
The good thing about GDPR is the company from 25/5 can only legally use your data for the purpose you allow it to be used for. It can't add a general use for direct marketing into its terms and conditions; this has to be explicitly requested and the individual needs to tick an explicit box to agree to it. A ticked box is not a default option.
