Follow this basic rule set:
0- BACK UP YOUR DATA
1- If you keep information on your computer that you don't want anyone to see.... Set it up so nobody CAN see it.
2- If you keep information on your computer that can get you in trouble.... don't. Use an external drive or something else.
3- If you CAN, before you send a mac in for service, reformat the hard drive with a 'write zero' 'military class' overwrite. Then reinstall the OS.
