Embed in a public website - Microsoft may display the report on a public website

Hi Community,

 

Currently we are curious about the next message when shared a report with the options of Embed in a public website.

What's that mean, Microsoft has access to our reports and they publish into a website or a public Gallery? Thanks all.

 

Kind regards 👋

Microsoft may theoretically end up publishing the report in a gallery such as:

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Galleries/ct-p/PBI_Comm_Galleries
