Hardware wallets like Trezor and Ledger are terrible choice for privacy as they're more like hot wallets. You need to download their shitty electron app to configure your wallet and even if these apps are open-source I can't consider them safe, because they have toooooo much features. At the same time they're missing basic features like connecting through TOR network to them which should be must have as they rely heavily on internet features like online exchanges which can easily reveal your data.

Do you have any idea how to access crypto easily while at the same keep it private and safe?

If you want privacy you should be using Monero. If you use Monero you can use the official wallet together with Trezor. In fact, if I am not mistaken you have to, because from what I recall the Trezor Suite has no support for Monero.
