    All public sites on WordPressdotcom publish a feed and therefore also your feed is publicly published. You can change your feed settings to only publish a summary of your post instead of the full article in your site’s Reading settings at WP Admin>Settings If you don’t want to publish a feed at all, the only option you have is to change your site’s visibility setting to Private and then invite people to view your site.

    The answer I’ve given you refers to sites hosted here on WordPressdotcom. If your site is hosted elsewhere and using the standalone WP software, then you should ask for help at the forums for self-hosted WP installs at https://wordpress.org/support

    Regardless, if someone is using your site feed to copy your site posts to their site, you can file a DMCA take down order with their hosting provider. WordPressdotcom has a good support document which may help explain: https://en.support.wordpress.com/copyright-infringement-what-to-do/
