[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1688561, member: 307555"] Evidently your wifi information is stored on the recovery partition and removing the hard drive eliminates that. The NVRAM also seems to store wifi information too. The infinitesimal possibility of that information being used by anyone to access your home internet is, in my opinion, not an issue but..... The good news is you can erase that by resetting the NVRAM: [url]http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/195775/how-to-prevent-storing-the-wifi-password-on-the-recovery-partition[/url] As for anything else being stored on any other part - no. The logic board is not intended for storage of your personal data. Things like how to run components or recover itself by accessing Apple for an operating system will be stored. Network information would be all it needs for that. The thing is - once the new person accessed their network, the information in the NVRAM would be replaced with the new networks information. But resetting the NVRAM won't hurt. Lisa [/QUOTE]
