If you are near a freegeek location, that's a good choice. They take data security / privacy very seriously.
I can't speak to Freegeek, but I must say, the only person you can hold responsible for your data is you. If you don't wipe it yourself and leave it to others, invariably someone will miss something. Others can help you, but it's your responsibility to secure your data.
