I do, I've successfully recovered both wallets (Electrum and Metamask) and they are up and running on another computer.

Just confirming, did you only enter the seed phrase or also move the coin to newly generated wallet? If you did the former and the technician have malicious intent, he/she/they still could steal the coin.

Even if data loss is presented, both wallets are fine, however, my only concern would be the technician to snoop through my files, which may sound too paranoid (or not, you never know).

Without knowing technician history or license, your concern is normal.

I only recovered my wallets through the 12 word seed phrase. I haven't moved my funds to a new wallet.

I personally don't sell my old cell phones or computers, I don't even throw them in the trash - not only to prevent anyone from getting any data, but also because one day all these old devices will be a good reminder of how technology has evolved over time. In case someone still wants to sell an old computer, I wouldn't risk deleting the files - just take out the HDD/SSD and sell it that way.

I would just in case transfer everything to new wallets, no matter how much you believe or not that person who did the diagnostics on your computer. Although we all think that such people keep their reputation and will not do anything bad that would endanger it, sometimes it is hard to resist not peeking into other people's secrets if you already have the opportunity.

Yeah, I'll move everything to new wallets just in case, you can never be safe enough. On top of that, if we suppose that he has snooped through my files, he could potentially try to compromise the wallets at a much later date. That way, no accusation can actually be directed to him.
