Can I upload a GEDCOM and not have deceased persons show up in the search results?

I have a GEDCOM I wanted to upload on Ancestry, and have a private family site. When I create a tree I seem to be able to make it completely private. However, when I try to upload my GEDCOM, I get this:

"Even if you don't share your tree, other members can still learn if a specific deceased individual is in your tree, in addition to the birth year and birthplace of the person and your username (but no personal information about you).
They can then contact you anonymously through the Connection Service on Ancestry.com sites to request more information. Keep in mind that members who want to learn from your tree may also have helpful information about your tree to offer you in exchange."

Is there a way to stop that? Thanks!
