Quite correct.EU rules are strictly applied these days -
As an EU resident, you have precisely zero privacy. -
Your (as a trader) brokers, whichever EU country they happen to operate (be registered) in, report your details (yes, all of them) to the authorities in that country. [this is a condition of their operating licence]. If that happens not to be your country of residence, no matter, the details are automatically shared and forwarded to your own local authorities. Or basically, it's shared with any nosey Tom Dick or Harry meddling bureaucrat in whatever trivial capacity that has the whim to poke around in your personal data.
True, this isn't like the US, where the CIA along with most of the other Government Agencies has been doing that with impunity since records to harvest personal data from existed, lol.
None of this actually matters, since there is nothing you could do to prevent it happening, permitted or not.
What matters, is whether that data itself, or any evidence obtained on the back of that data, can legally be used against you.
Which you'll find is the point at which, if you're even lucky enough to have a constitution, that it gets thrown out the window in the name of some 'higher' more honorable cause, like 'fraud prevention' or 'national security' or some other such equally vague but laudable term implying the moral high ground.
Whatever your political leanings may be, don't be fooled- what Governments of all creeds around the world have in common is their absolute right to dictate what you are allowed or not to do and when and where you are permitted or not to do it. You have no right to privacy from the Government or any of it's agencies. Simple as that.
