Is there any security issue while enabling map and filled map visuals in tenant settings?

We have purchased an premium account for the organization,while working on the premium account we were not able to use geo maps for visualization.There is an option in tenant settings to enable map and filled visuals ,while trying to enable this functionality

a  warning  shows that there is a security issue related to it,so is there any issue when we enable this feature?does it collect or send any data to the third parties?

    Anandhu12 As the warning specifies, the address and location of the mapped points is shared with third parties, TomTom and SK Telecom, and this may be beyond the regional boundaries of your tenant. Basically any country. The queries are stored and processed. However, no customer data is included. Overall, it is difficult to envision this could be used to compromise security or in any nefarious manner. But, you never know. Microsoft is kind of required to notify you of this type of thing and some organizations have very strict rules around the sharing of any data with third parties.
