Comment (by idea15):

 We've already established that the dataset sent back by telemetry checks
 (https://github.com/gdpr-compliance/info/blob/master/Synched-info.md)
 constitutes personal data. There are any number of issues which could
 arise from interception and misuse of that data.

 The question we need to work for the purposes of this ticket is which
 telemetry data is specifically necessary for security updates under the
 defintion of not requiring consent (per the draft ePD, not GDPR) and which
 telemetry should require active opt-in upon installation. Matt's plugin
 (above) and 16778 are both worth examining.
