Private vs public refers only to the way that shares are bought and sold, corporations don't have a right to privacy. The details that are public about your company are related to the size of the company.

That really depends on the jurisdiction.

For example, the stockholder, director, and officer information of a Nevada corporation[0] is not disclosed to the public. AFAIK there's no limit on a Nevada corporation's size for these privacy guarantees to continue to apply.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I was speaking about Europe, and the UK in particular.
