Publish to Web: What rights does Microsoft Have?

[Anonymous]

When you publish a Power Bi report to the web, it warns you: "Microsoft may display the report on a public website or public gallery." I cannot find much info about this disclaimer online. Will Microsoft reach out to you before displaying the report? 

More importantly, if I delete a public link later on, can Microsoft still display it publicly? Or does removing the link revoke their right to publish it? 

Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide me

Hi there

Here are more details on Publish to Web https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-publish-to-web

And my understanding is when you do publish to web you agree to the conditions in the dialog which Microsoft could potentially display it on a public site.

You are correct in that as soon as you remove the public link it is no longer available and my understanding would be, it is no longer classified as Publish to Web.
