Would like some opinions on how I can keep my privacy

[Stan J.]

Recently bought a property through a land trust for privacy concerns. I decided to renovate after a tenant moved out. The electricity has turned off and the utility company is asking for invasive personal info (say what you want, but it is invasive). I offered to put down a large deposit upfront so they don't have to worry about lending me electricity. They don't want to do this. I imagine they'll sell the data, which is why I'm trying to avoid having my name tied to the property. I'm not looking for data privacy opinions - just ones on how I can set up an account with the utility company without giving up my personal information.

I tried creating an EIN for the trust, but they asked for the actual trust document. I'm of course not going to give that to them. What are my options? I'd prefer to avoid setting up an LLC as I only have 1 property. Was considering trying to sign up as a sole proprietorship combo'd with a DBA, but I'm not sure if they would ask for identification like the trust. My goal is to be as simple as possible and not create an LLC for this.
