Don't forget, some of your data might be retained in /tmp or the swap partition.

Is there, then, a way to empty /tmp and swap everytime I shutdown?

You could create a symlink from /tmp to /dev/shm. This means that your /tmp will be on a RAM disk. As for swap, you'd have to write junk to the partition on shut down. Or you could simply have enough RAM, that you don't need a swap.
