"It all begins with the invoice, which has the receiver’s public key embedded in it. Everyone with access to an invoice can easily discover the associated node." So the exchange knows where the payment is going. If your node has an IP (not run on Tor), they have even more info about you. I believe most lightning nodes are not running on Tor because it negatively affects performance and reliability.
