if you haven't published your reports then ofcourse data never left your premise. Just to confirm, you are using powerbi desktop, connecting using direct query (seems like you are using ssas) and never published a report, if that is the case, i don't think it ever left your premise.

        Live connection means it always polls the data source and data never get moved or imported in powerbi, in short, yes, it will not leave the building.

         

        Again, i never understood, what data source you are connected with and how you are connected? If you are not publishing  your reports, you don't need gateway, not sure why you have gateway in place? Are you planning to publish your report to power bi cloud (app.powerbi.com)
