hard drive - Data security during laptop repair

Recently bought a new laptop with an extended warranty. Wondering if when a laptop needs to be sent in to the manufacturer for a repair (specifically a hardware repair), is it ok to remove the hard drive when sending it in? I don't want to risk my data (security) while in transit and out of my hands. Nor do I want to delete sensitive files and restore them when my laptop is restored. I guess this would make it tougher to troubleshoot issues and repair the laptop. I don't know what else I could do.
