Clone a repository on GitHub, without exposing the fork?

I would like to clone an existing private GitHub repository, including its history, to a separate private repo. If I do this, is there any mechanism by which the owners of the existing repository would be notified the repository has been cloned and/or forked?

Yes, it can be done, but only if the repository is public. Then the repository owner can see the cloning statistics, but not WHICH user the repository have cloned.

The cloning statistic can be viewed by clicking on the specific repository, choose Insights in the navigation bar and click there Traffic.

For more information, look at this GitHub blog Clone Graphs.
