If I'm a dependent, do my parents have access to my tax information?

I have multiple W-2s from different jobs.  My parents opened the mail I received at home (I'm a college student) and have one set of W2s while I have the other. For several reasons, I'd prefer they didn't have the information on both of my W2s but I know I must report my entire income (less than $5000) if I'm going to file at all. If I filed my taxes (with both W2s) myself and put that I'm a dependent, will my parents be able to view my tax information such as my W2s or tax return?
