If you leave Safari open, the next person using the computer can still hit the "back" button to visit the private pages you were just visiting. I believe this is even the case if you fully close the Safari window, but leave the program active with no windows open whatsoever. The way to experiment. Close the Safari window, (apple-key W) but leave Safari open. Then open a new Safari window to see if all the stuff is erased, or is still hanging around.
