ArcGIS Maps for Power BI (Preview) Discussion
Advocate IVThis feature looks awesome, I've enjoyed using it and found it to be a very powerful visualisation. It being a preview feature is great and I can't wait for it to be a standard feature.
What I would like to know is, what data is shared with ESRI? Is it just your computer details, I want to be certain that the data that I am putting onto the visual is not being shared further?
Many thanks!
When you bind data to ArcGIS Maps for Power BI, any data you bind to it is handled by code written by Esri. So you should assume the data may be transmitted across the network to Esri's servers. Typically, data in the Location Field is sent to be geocoded (a network API call) so it's location on the map can be determined. Your client computer (where you browser or Power BI desktop is running) will make a network request directly to Esri's services which may store information like IP address as part of their normal diganostics/logging.
The data you bind to the visual is covered under the terms and privacy policy you agree to when start using the visuals. You can review them here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-tutorial-arcgis/#user-consent
