Does Underlying Data Become Public When a Report is Published to Web?

[James225]

When you publish a Power BI report to the web the report becomes accessible to anyone with an internet connection, but what about the underlying data?

Does the data itself become a public dataset and get published somewhere? Can it be exported? Could the data be scapred from the host site's html? 

I can't seem to find any Microsoft documentation that definitively says that the data is or isn't visible to the public.

When you publish a Power BI report to the web using the Publish to web feature, the report itself becomes accessible to anyone with the link. However, the underlying data is not published as a separate public dataset, and it cannot be accessed or exported directly from the published report.

The data remains securely stored within your Power BI workspace or data source, and it is not made publicly available through the web publishing process. Only the visualizations and insights derived from the data are shared in the published report.
