Does entering personal details in cryptocurrency exchange compromise privacy? (lemmy.ml)

I wanted to try paying for Mullvad VPN using a private method (Monero). I created a wallet and went to an exchange (Kraken) to buy some XMR, but they want me to enter all my personal details upon registration. How does this make sense? Is there an exchange where I don't have to provide personally identifying information?

I'm just learning about all this. Looks like P2P is what I want. Thanks
