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.

Great plugin, very well written. Thanks for sharing.

If plugin notifications and inline warnings are getting in your way, activate the WP Nag Hide Plugin and it will give you the option to hide the update notifications and plugin warnings in your admin panel. It ONLY hides the notices at the top of the admin pages, it does NOT hide the notices under a plugin on the plugins page.
Some notifications of course can be closed or dismissed for a period of time manually, and some can be useful to know. The WP Nag Hide plugin gives you the power to globally hide notifications or just individual plugins that are causing the nags!
A simple, lightweight plugin that even works on WP multisites.
