I don't trust any provider :)
But yes, I tend to trust those providers less.
It seems odd to accept Bitcoins, and yet want contact information. And some of these providers actually emphasize that they're privacy friendly! But I suspect that it's just that they're using stock software that needs contact information to create accounts. Also, Bitcoin is just one payment option, and credit/debit card payments do require contact information.
