How to know which bank will keep my data safer? (Europe, single country)
I was looking at four banks in one country, which are based in France, Belgium and 2 in Austria, and I was looking for something that would make me choose one over the other... So I thought what's important for me, and it is privacy and my private data security.
So how do I choose a bank like this, how do I know the truth about their data protection and privacy policy? How do I find out the details that nobody would tell or even know if I was to ask at the bank?
I am of course looking at the branches, since I mentioned they are all are just in one country, so I am also wondering - does it even matter where the bank is based if I would be signing up just for its branch that is in another European country?
I am European citizen myself, so I would like to focus this question for European citizens.
Please edit the question if there's something wrong with it - I seem to ask questions in a wrong way for this website often, hah. :-)

The EU has pretty good regulation on personal data and privacy. So there's a respectable floor to seriously how any of these four banks have to take the issue.
how do I know the truth about their data protection and privacy policy?
I'm sure they publish the policy somewhere. How well it is adhered to is another matter, and something you can probably only find out by getting one of their IT staff to break confidentiality. If you can't do that, it's probably a good sign.
