What are the better places to get a domain without any selling data nonsense? (lemmy.world)

I am in the hunt right now for a domain (I plan to use for email and such, meaning, things that would be tied to my legal person). As some of you know, by law in many places it is required to have a set of legally true information to register a domain (from name to house address, in case the domain needs to be verified to belong to a real person).

I was checking porkbun a second ago, and the privacy policy really does not give me confidence (they mention very clearly there is sale and ai training involved). I am from Europe so I would expect gdpr to be respected by default, however, they say I would have to send an email to get my rights and identify myself (I expect an Id upload which is not really a thing I want to do).

Considering all this, what are the better places for domains? I expect to pay more than porkbun, but if it people that do it right, so be it.

When you send an email stating you want to exercise your gdpr rights, more often than not the companies asks for an identification of some sort. I've seen in multiple threads on other services that when that happens is common to ask for an Id. Which actually creates a chilling effect, making people less likely to go with the gdpr enforcement. So by default they don't ask for anything, but the language implies the capability is there in case the gdpr clause is brought up
