Or is my information stored elsewhere on my computer?
Or retrievable by some info retrieval program?
How am I assured that my information is permanently gone from my harddrive?

Secure Empty Trash really does a good job of emptying the trash....
But if it's not in the trash it's still there! Like preferences, and cookies, and browser cache files , you may need to clean them out too!

Secure Empty Trash shreds your files so that they can't be restored using a program.
