Q: No Secure Empty Trash in El Capitan

Yosemite had Empty Trash and Secure Empty Trash.  I am assuming that in Yosemite, Empty Trash just deleted the directory entry for the data while Secure Empty Trash actually writes over the data.  El Capitan has only Empty Trash.  Is data written over in El Capitan when you Empty Trash or is the directory deleted as before?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011), OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)
