Whois privacy protection is free and available for .de. It will hide registration info from public searches. This is definitely good enough for your use case of keeping services from accessing your personal data.
Just be aware it's not full anonymity - your info can still be obtained through legal channels if required.
But for everyday privacy from services and companies, it works perfectly. Definitely worth using your own domain as it stops you from being locked into one provider!
