Doing most of your internet browsing in private mode helps reduce the chance that other users of the same device will find out what you've been up to. But it doesn't protect you from websites and other third parties who may be tracking your online activity.
This means your activity doesn't show up in your Chrome browser history, so people who also use your device won't find your activity. Websites see you as a new user and won't know who you are, as long as you don't sign in.
