#### Private Environment Values

You can mark environment values as private when they contain sensitive information that should not be exposed in the client-side code. **Private** environment values are not included in the generated code.
You can mark environment values as private when they contain sensitive information that should not be exposed in the client-side code.

:::warning
Private environment values are not included in the compiled application code and are never exposed to end users. However, if a private environment value is used in a private API call that runs through a generated cloud function, the value may appear in the cloud function’s code. When exporting or pushing your project to GitHub, you must review and manage these cloud function files—for example, excluding them with `.gitignore` if they contain sensitive information.
