# Authorize Keys

**Adding and Authorizing OpenAI Keys**

To enable the monitoring of your LLM statistics and gain valuable business insights, you'll need to add and authorize your OpenAI keys in GPTBoost. Follow these straightforward steps to get started:

* **Key Naming -** When adding your OpenAI key to GPTBoost, choose a name that is both descriptive and practical. This name will help you easily identify and manage your keys as you use them. 
* **Organization ID -** If your OpenAI account requires an Organization ID, be sure to provide this information during the authorization process.

**Security and Data Privacy**

Rest assured that the security of your OpenAI keys is of paramount importance to us. We take the following measures to safeguard your data and maintain privacy:

* **Hashing Algorithm Security -** The OpenAI keys you authorize to GPTBoost are processed through a hashing algorithm. This one-way cryptographic function is renowned for its virtually irreversible nature. This ensures the confidentiality and integrity of your key.
* **Data Privacy -** Your privacy is our priority. Only the hash value of your key is retained on our server. We do not store the raw value of your key. Your sensitive information remains protected during the authorization process.

By following these steps and understanding our commitment to security and data privacy, you can confidently use GPTBoost for LLM statistics monitoring while keeping your OpenAI keys and data secure. On top of that, we're offering an additional layer of [IP Security Policy](/security/methods.md) to restrict the usage of your keys, available in the paid plans.&#x20;
