Dégradation des notes de confiance

French to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) Data privacy
Hi all,

I'm translating an online multi-choice quiz for bank employees about data privacy and protection of individual data from French into British English, and I am have problems with the phrase above. Please see the phrase below to see it in full context:

'À quelle sanction la Banque s'exposerait-elle en cas de non-respect des nouvelles règles relatives à la protection des données des individus et au respect de la vie privée?

Aucune. La nouvelle réglementation européenne ne sera pas contraignante.
Cela dépendra du cas. Les amendes pourraient atteindre 20 millions € ou monter jusqu’à 4% du chiffre d’affaires annuel (max) de la société concernée.
Dégradation des notes de confiance et perte de crédibilité.'

I was thinking of 'downgrading in credit ratings', but I'm not 100% sure. Could someone help please? Many thanks :)

@ Steve It seems 'fall in approval ratings' is mostly used for people or groups such as political parties rather than banks-how people view these people or groups (maybe even religious groups too)-https://www.google.com.mt/search?source=hp&ei=Q2xoWuzRMoKnU6...

credit's etymology is credere, i.e., to believe or to trust in Latin

Downturn in positive feedback

Just a hunch really, but it seems that just about everything asks for a star rating these days, and loss of positive feedback could be very damaging?
Peer comment(s):

neutral AllegroTrans : it is feedback in effect but I don't think you can ignore "notes" which implies ratings

Downturn in confidence ratings

notes = scores, marks, ratings

fall in approval ratings

A hunch - it makes me think of customer surveys and online review websites.

I can see how "note de confiance" could mean a "credit rating", but I'm not familiar with it. Also, it doesn't pair up as well with "loss of credibility", and doesn't really fit the question, even if it's one of the wrong answers.

Erosion of confidence

I think this captures the essence of what is meant.
