If I close my bank account is my information gone with it?

Hi everyone.
I have opened a credit card account for internet purchases only 1 year ago. I am moving to a different country now and for personal privacy purposes I want to delete this credit card account? I just wanted to know, can I make sure every single information I gave them will be deleted as well (like name, address, etc etc)?
Thank you.

In a word, no.

ETA: What US state are you in?

Why in the would you think any merchant would delete customer records? There is nothing you can do to force them to delete your information. What possible reason would you have for wanting this? You would probably go nuts if you realized how much of your data is out there in places you wouldn't even guess.

Ok, this is getting scary.
I live outside of the US, in Southeast Europe.
I am closing my bank account because I'm moving out to live in another country as I mentioned, and there are some people who work there, including the bank founder who is an ex of mine, I don't want them to have my addresses, there are still family members living in my house and I want to cut every way of communication with these people for certain reasons.
Thanks again.

Pay off the account, close it out. Never give a forwarding address.
