The customer information is securely stored in the Braintree Vault including payment method information.

When a customer pays using Drop-in UI they can save their payment info for future purchases.

If the customer selects the I confirm saving my CC info on the Braintree server checkbox at checkout, the customer information (first name, last name, company, email, phone, email, and website) will be saved in the Braintree Vault.

The customer information is taken from the profile fields:

If the checkbox is cleared, the customer information will not be saved and the customer record will be deleted from the Braintree Vault.

When a customer registers in the store, a record is created in the Vault even if the customer has not paid with Braintree yet.

When a customer updates their information in the profile, this information is updated on the Braintree side too.

If the customer does not want to store their payment information on Braintree, they can delete their record from Braintree from their profile page:
