💻 Code

export class UiKitModule {
    private data: string = '123';
    private getData(params?: string): string {
        return this.data;
    }

    forRoot(params?: string): string {
        return this.getData(params) + '4';
    }
    forChild(params?: string): string {
        return this.getData(params) + '5';
    }
}

export class UiKitModuleNativePrivate {
    #data: string = '123';
    #getData(params?: string): string {
        return this.#data;
    }

    forRoot(params?: string): string {
        return this.#getData(params) + '4';
    }
    forChild(params?: string): string {
        return this.#getData(params) + '5';
    }
}

🙁 Actual behavior

// Output d.ts
export declare class UiKitModule {
    private data;
    private getData;
    forRoot(params?: string): string;
    forChild(params?: string): string;
}
export declare class UiKitModuleNativePrivate {
    #private;
    forRoot(params?: string): string;
    forChild(params?: string): string;
}

🙂 Expected behavior

// Output d.ts
export declare class UiKitModule {
    private data: string;
    private getData(params?: string): string;
    forRoot(params?: string): string;
    forChild(params?: string): string;
}
export declare class UiKitModuleNativePrivate {
    forRoot(params?: string): string;
    forChild(params?: string): string;
}

This is intentional. In a declaration file the only thing matters is that there is a private property, the type is irrelevant.
