When I used the messaging app that came with my phone, all of the message data was stored on my SIM, and I could then find out what phone numbers I messaged and what time the message was sent. I don't want this to happen, so I switched to Whatsapp. However, I still don't know if Whatsapp will save that same data to my SIM or not. I have heard that it is privacy-based, so I thought it would, but I'm still not sure.

No. According to WhatsApp company, they don't store user chat history, not even to their servers. Your WhatsApp chats would only be backed up to local memory and Google Drive if you set up the backup function within the app.
