Data privacy when sending computer to Apple
#6
1. Clear all logs, user cache, temp files, browser history/cache (use MainMenu or similar)
2. Enable Secure Virtual Memory (sys prefs/security)
3. If you don'y want your email readable create encrypted dmg files with Mail and Mail Download and set up symbolic links to Mail and Mail Download (~/library)
4. Same with Address Book
5. Don't use browser password fill, instead use 1Password
6. Store all sensitive files on encrypted dmg files
7. Use different password for user login and keychain login
8. If you've got apps you shouldn't have use MainMenu to Show Invisibles then temporarily add prefix "." (dot) to change name. and revert to Hide Invisibles

or

Do backup and wipe internal HD with zeros (multiple times if you have time but probably overkill), then do clean install
