Hi Anonymous 

If you publish reports to Power BI service, then it would store data on azure blob storage and azure sql database.

Since you don't publish, it would store data on your server.

As amitchandak shared, power bi report server would keep data in your own cloud service which is safe to a certain degree.

 

Best Regards

    Thank you! I am aware of the reports server option but since these reports shouldn't be shared or just with a very limited amount of people it is overkill.

    So I can rest assured that reports data won't be transfered in any way as long as I don't publish the report right?
