statement correction

hello,

Is it correct to say "keep this secret with you". I searched for this statment in google I got only 3 to 4 results but for "Keep this secret to yourself" I got many. Is the first one wrong?

thanks

The first one is wrong. Well, actually, it is syntactically correct but, as you have seen in your Google search, extremely, extremely rare. It is not idiomatic.
