I'm going to trade in my iPod Touch at a local swap shop, but i'm concerned about my security. I've performed a factory reset (in the settings of the iPod Touch), and the iPod now starts as if out the box. If I sold my iPod, would it be possible for someone to recover any of my data - or am I being too paranoid?
Thanks in advance

Highly doubt it.
Once its done the data should be gone entirely.
If you cant find anything of yours on it, neither would anyone else.

Once it's gone, it's gone.

Im pretty sure you will be fine. Plus the people buying used ipods for a store arent very tech savy in my experience.

Not sure on this one 'cause I've restored many iDevices and there's still been jailbreak data on the device such as tweak settings etc. even though like I said I restored my device.

No all of your data will be off the iPod
