Hi helga195,
To safely disconnect your Time Machine drive, open Finder, then click the eject button next to your backup drive.
If you're concerned about security, and want to prevent others from accessing your backups, encrypt your backup drive. Please let me know if you want to do this; it could either be instantaneous or could take hours or days, depending on whether you want to preserve your backup history.
