How about not using 'away' in this sentence about "not wanting to give away information about our self"?

Hi.

I've learned one word "coy"

coy means not wanting to give away information about yourself.

but I want to know what if I don't use the 'away" from above sentence, does it still work the same meaning?


coy means not wanting to give away information about yourself.

coy means not wanting to give information about yourself.


what is the difference between them in specially at nuance?
