How to SECURELY prepare Linux Mint Cinnamon 18 laptop to give away

Single User Mint Cinnamon 18, no dual boot option. Have pictures, documents, bank records, using Firefox browser to access banking thus password history. Would like to give the laptop to friend with usable operating system but without a trace of my records. Also wondering about my User account.

Is this possible for a novice+ to accomplish without complete reinstall of OS? Would appreciate suggestions as to best way to handle this. Thanks.latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=jEgk8FAJqH4:hGMK4l8xqGk:F7zBnMy latest?i=jEgk8FAJqH4:hGMK4l8xqGk:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=jEgk8FAJqH4:hGMK4l8xqGk:gIN9vFwjEgk8FAJqH4
