What is the difference between a public calendar and a private iCal URL?

Public calendar:  It shows your availability to guests on your website, Facebook page, or any other place you prefer. This public calendar does NOT have any information about guests only blocked dates.

Private iCal URL: Use this iCal file to inform third channels about your bookings and availability (booking channels, your PMS, Google calendar, other tools, and software). This file contains private information like guest names and contact details.  😃
