It is becoming a leqal issue: does QB have the right to remove your access to software you've purchased because you don't want to log on and confirm information they've no right to have?
We are told by Intuit that 'this is not the impression we want to convey' and that their insistence that they have a right always to be inside of our computer is preposterous on its face. Don't tell me that it's for my protection and to improve service and all the other marketing pap. It's so QB can market to us and always be "in touch" with what we're doing and using their product. But there are privacy issues involved and if large government agencies and Fortune 500 companies are being hacked, I believe I have the right not to invite Intuit into my company files on a regular basis.
I am not stupid. I am a bookkeeping and compliance professional. I switch among many QB accounts. There is no law and no compliance issue involved in permitting QB to download our metadata, usage or any other information we choose not to share. This is an onerous overlay from a company that fully acts like the monopoly that it is. It has got to stop.
This "feature" has got to be removed in the name of client privacy. If I choose to use QB unconnected to the internet I need to see the citation of the law preventing me from doing so.
