How/where the power BI report data was preserved until the next refresh?

  I have created a power bi report which actually gets data sourced from Azure data lake storage gen2. The report source was a CSV file and I used power bi desktop to complete the report. 

Below I have mentioned the workflow.

 CSV file(in azure data lake) -> read using power bi desktop -> published into power bi workspace -> embedded report into power apps portal.

what my concern was,

              without refreshing the power bi dataset was loading the older data to the corresponding report and I wonder where the data was preserved to show up until the next refresh? Is it storing the report data in any caching mechanism or what?
