Before selling or giving away a Mac you should perform the steps in this Apple article:

When erasing the hard drive I recommend you use the "Advanced" or "Security Options" option to write a single pass of zeroes to the drive to destroy acess to all your personal data on the hard drive. This article has a general guide for doing this although older versions of macOS may be slightly different.
