Most likely unless you already have find my iPhone turned off. Otherwise why would you turn in your phone with all your info on it?

Because it’s still saved on your phone. Why do you not want to wipe your phone before you trade it in?

No I do, I just think im not understanding the process. I thought signing out of my icloud would prevent people from accessing my info but I guess I also need to clear the device

Edit: I just realized, Ive been thinking of my apple id but have been typing icloud for some reason. So anyways, signing out of my apple id does not clear my info from my device?

No, it does not. You will need to wipe it. It may remove billing info but contacts, texts, photos, etc will still be on there unless you wipe your phone.
