backup Iphone

I have a friend who is going to help me back up my iphone so I can switch to another newer iphone, if the backup is done on their computer will they have access to all my pictures and messages and how can I have the history erase from their computer once my back up is completed? I do not want them to keep pictures of mine in their computer

Do not allow your friend to back up to a computer. You should instead back up to iCloud as described here.
