Make Custom Post Type — Private

Edit:

I tried to use a Code Snippet:
I copied the code snippet from here and ensured that ‘my_post-type’ was changed to my SCF “Post Type Key” setting. The same result as above – when I copied the custom Post URL into a browser where I was not logged in with WordPress, I could see the post.

function force_type_private($post)
{
    if ($post['post_type'] == 'my_post_type') // I used my SCF "Post Type Key"
    $post['post_status'] = 'private';
    return $post;
}
add_filter('wp_insert_post_data', 'force_type_private');

I used WP functionality — Private (it worked):
I went to WP Dashboard > find the specific custom post > Edit > Set Status = ‘Private’ . This worked

Question 1:
But I’m worried someone creates a new custom post, and they forget to set it to private. I would like use a code snippet so that ALL instances of this custom post type are always private. Is this possible?

Question 2:
And if not through a code snippet, through SCF settings? (I’m not using a Field Group, just Custom Post).
