The Book of Referee, Chapter F, Verse Procedures 2 ...
"2. When the second referee sees or hears an action or response that necessitates a card, he/she shall move to the offending team’s side of the net and take a few steps onto the court towards the first referee. The second referee holds the card(s) in the middle of his/her chest and indicates verbally the number of the offending player(s) or coach. It is the responsibility of the first referee to immediately administer any card(s) requested by the second referee."
I supposed it depends on your definition of "privately", but nothing about that sounds discreet or secret. Sounds pretty front or center to me.
