I have an old car with no advanced technology whatsoever. Could this be avoided by turning off my phone while driving, or can they still acquire data?

Depends on what kind of data collection you want to avoid

Good question. I'd mostly like to avoid entities like my car insurance provider from collecting information on my driving, things like that.
