Jabber.org is based on the US and must comply with the US jurisdiction. Also, you traffic will likely go through the US. I'd advise to use a European-based server to mitigate the privacy issue. jabber.at seems a good one, but there are many others[1]. If you feel brave enough, you could set up your own jabber server[2]. I have done so using jabberd14 (even though ejabberd seems more popular) and plan to add a wiki page here sooner or later.
