Risk Matrix Pro — a Power BI custom visual by TCViz · Last updated: 16 September 2026

The short version

Risk Matrix Pro does not collect, transmit, store or share any data. It has no network access of any kind. Everything it does happens inside the Power BI rendering sandbox on your own machine or in your own tenant.

1. What the visual receives

Power BI passes the visual only the fields you place in its field wells, already aggregated according to your data model. The visual has no route to the rest of your dataset, your Power BI workspace, your account or your device.

Field wellWhat it receives
RiskThe risk identifiers or names you assign, used as marker labels, tooltips and selection keys.
CategoryCategory values, used for colours, shapes and the legend.
Likelihood, ImpactNumeric values and their format strings, used to place each risk on the grid.
Residual and Target likelihood / impactNumeric values, used to draw movement and to compare each risk with its target.
TooltipsNumeric values and format strings, shown only in the tooltip.

2. Network access

The visual makes no network requests whatsoever. There are no fetch or XMLHttpRequest calls, no external scripts, no fonts loaded from a CDN, no analytics, no telemetry, no error reporting and no advertising. Its privileges array in capabilities.json is empty, which means Power BI itself blocks any outbound connection at the platform level.

3. What is written, and where

The visual writes nothing of its own. Your formatting choices (grid size, colours, thresholds and so on) are saved by Power BI inside your .pbix report file, like any other visual's format settings. When you click a risk, Power BI records the selection so other visuals on the page react, exactly like a slicer selection.

What is not stored

4. Licensing

Pro entitlement is checked through Microsoft's official IVisualLicenseManager API, which is part of Power BI itself. TCViz operates no licence server and receives no call from the visual. The check asks Power BI whether the current user holds an active plan and returns a yes or no; no identity, account name or usage information reaches us. If the check fails for any reason the visual simply stays on the Free tier.

5. Purchases

Pro licences are sold and processed by Microsoft through AppSource. TCViz never sees your payment details. Microsoft's own privacy statement governs that transaction.

6. Support requests

If you open an issue on GitHub or email us, we receive whatever you choose to include — typically your description, the visual version and any screenshots you attach. Please redact anything confidential before sending. We use that information only to answer you, and we do not share it.

7. Children

The visual is a professional data tool, not directed at children, and collects nothing from anyone.

8. Changes

If this policy changes, the revised version will be published here with a new date and summarised in the changelog. Because the visual collects nothing, no change can retroactively affect data already handled.
