GitLab CI allows you to define per-project **Secure Variables** that are set in build environment.
The secure variables are stored out of the repository (the `.gitlab-ci.yml`).
-These variables are securely stored in GitLab CI database and are hidden in the build log.
+The variables are securely passed to GitLab Runner and are available in build environment.
It's desired method to use them for storing passwords, secret keys or whatever you want.
+**The value of the variable can be shown in build log if explicitly asked to do so.**
+If your project is public or internal you can make the builds private.
+
Secure Variables can added by going to `Project > Variables > Add Variable`.
They will be available for all subsequent builds.
