So in that case, someone who you give your AppleID to CAN look at selected pictures that you designate, if you make those pictures public. If you update the album, anyone subscribed to it will get a push notification letting them know there are new photos to see. I don't understand this part. What if I had all of them turned on? Idk too much about Apple. And as far as I know I've never created an album and made pictures public. Is it possible that I have been sharing them all this time without knowing it? You have to actually give permission to people to view things. I'm still not sure what the problem is you're attempting to deal with:

1) You gave an iPad with all your Apple ID credentials on it to someone else? (doesn't sound like this is the case)

2) You let someone know the email address you use for your Apple ID so they could send you messages? (sounds like this is the case, in which case, you can block messages from that person if you like, and unless they can guess your password and have some reason to break the law, there's not much they can do)

3) You entered your Apple ID into your iPad and are worried about someone who also used your Apple ID now having access to your iPad? (also sounds like this isn't the case)

4) You entered your Apple ID into your iPad and are worried that someone you know who knows your Apple ID now has access to your iPad?

Apple software is permissions-based. You have to allow people access to various bits of your iCloud data, and you can block access at any time. What you need to do is review your iCloud preferences and ensure that they are set to allow what you want to the people you want. Apple's tech support site has some good KBAs on this if you need more detail.
