Ghost/core/server/update-check.js

// # Update Checking Service
//
// Makes a request to Ghost.org to check if there is a new version of Ghost available.
// The service is provided in return for users opting in to anonymous usage data collection
// Blog owners can opt-out of update checks by setting 'updateCheck: false' in their config.js
//
// The data collected is as follows:
// - blog id - a hash of the blog hostname, pathname and dbHash. No identifiable info is stored.
// - ghost version
// - node version
// - npm version
// - env - production or development
// - database type - SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL
// - email transport - mail.options.service, or otherwise mail.transport
// - created date - database creation date
// - post count - total number of posts
// - user count - total number of users
// - theme - name of the currently active theme
// - apps - names of any active apps
