I think that when you create a new tree, it gives you the choice of whether to make it public or private.

If you already have a public tree, this is how to make it private:

When you have your tree open, click on the chevron next to the tree name which gives a menu, and select "Tree Settings". Then select the "Privacy Settings" tab and you will have the option to click a box which says "Private Tree" and there is also the option to "also prevent your tree from being found in the search index".
Note: although your tree will instantly become public or private, it usually takes about a month or more to be reflected in the search index.

Then you can click on the "Sharing" tab and it has a button to "invite people" via their email address or ancestry user name, or you can click to create a "shareable link" that you can send to the person you want to share your tree with.
