Importing Data from an API - Safe?

Is it safe to import data from an api into a PBI report that accesses and contains confidential organization data? I want to import data from this api, using the "web" data source connection:

worldtimeapi.org/
worldtimeapi.org/api/timezone/new_york

It is safe. That web call would not be sending any of your organization data with it, but to be sure you can turn on Privacy, to prevent it from even trying.
