No it's not. It's only a leak if they access that data without your permission. There's nothing wrong with them being able to request that data, with you-the-user being able to respond to that request "fuck no".

Better than that, add an export feature to Safari that must be activated by a user action. That would probably be in the spirit of GDPR's right to access one's own data.
