Stop WordPress sending anything but essential data during the update check.
By default, WordPress sends the following data during the version update check:
<ul>
<li>Current WordPress version</li>
<li>Language</li>
<li>PHP version</li>
<li>MySQL version</li>
<li>If multisite in enabled</li>
<li>Number of websites the WordPress install is running (this will be 1 unless it is a multisite)</li>
<li>Number of users</li>
<li>The WordPress database version during initial installation</li>
</ul>
The WordPress dashboard does not currently provide a way to opt-out of this data collection, but WordPress 4.9 introduced the ability to change whether this data is sent.
This plugin ensures only essential data – current WordPress version and language – are sent during the update check.
There are no options to configure with this plugin.

Disables the default notification emails sent by a site after an automatic theme and/or plugin update. Simply activate the plugin to disable these email notifications (allows failure notices through unless setting is enabled to disable these as well).
This is a simple & lightweight plugin that simply uses the official filters made available as of WordPress 5.5 to disable these email notifications upon activation. It does let update failure notifications through by default, but the Settings => General page has a setting to disable these as well.
