# Secrets
Secrets allow you to store sensitive information in your user, organization or repository.
Secrets are available on Gitea 1.19+.
# Naming your secrets
The following rules apply to secret names:
- Secret names can only contain alphanumeric characters (`[a-z]`, `[A-Z]`, `[0-9]`) or underscores (`_`). Spaces are not allowed.
- Secret names must not start with the `GITHUB_` and `GITEA_` prefix.
- Secret names must not start with a number.
- Secret names are not case-sensitive.
- Secret names must be unique at the level they are created at.
For example, a secret created at the repository level must have a unique name in that repository, and a secret created at the organization level must have a unique name at that level.
If a secret with the same name exists at multiple levels, the secret at the lowest level takes precedence. For example, if an organization-level secret has the same name as a repository-level secret, then the repository-level secret takes precedence.
