- From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:

  Privately \Pri"vate*ly\, adv.
     1. In a private manner; not openly; without the presence of
        others.

     2. In a manner affecting an individual; personally not
        officially; as, he is not privately benefited.

- From WordNet (r) 1.6 [wn]:

  privately
       adv 1: kept private or confined to those intimately concerned; "it
              was discussed privately between the two men";
              "privately, she thought differently"; "some member of
              his own party hoped privately for his defeat"; "he was
              questioned in private" [syn: {in private}] [ant: {publicly}]
       2: by a private person or interest; "a privately financed
          campaign" [ant: {publicly}]

Seems clear enough to me.
