I checked your resource. It doesn't answer the key questions, already asked:
Why would an "online" aka "cloud" product be storing anything on the device?
What possible control does the end user have over where QuickBooks ONLINE stores credit card numbers?
what possible risk is there to a customer credit card being charged if I never had that number and never stored it? Only Intuit's cloud software has the opportunity to store that number. I've never stored a single credit card number in 15 years of being in business. Every single charge was new, and the customer had to volunteer to pay it, almost always via Intuit's pay online portal, so I never even see the credit card numbers, nor does my device (the credit card readers you sold us with worthless batteries was another scam--and I don't use them, so only Intuit sees the credit card numbers). Only Intuit's cloud can create risk. I cannot, unless Intuit is lying about storing customer credit card numbers, or are lying that this isn't just another Intuit scammy profit center, like scanning your customer bank accounts and forwarding prospects to your loan products division, without their permission (which is also tiresome, invasive and probably illegal in my state).
The evasiveness is gross. Just own it. Be a respectable human, for goodness sakes. It really is a much happier life!
If you can't or won't answer the question honestly, please don't answer. I don't need to be lied to by SashaMC or anyone else. The monthly Intuition bill is punishment enough.
