Possible user-triggered network interactions are the following:
Usage of the Package Manager or the update checker (no personal information is transmitted, only the required technical connection information like IP). This also applies to the implicit usage of the Package Manager from the terminal triggered especially via typing install PACKAGENAME
Usage of the issue reporting feature. Especially in the bug case, the attached excerpt of the log file may contain restricted or confidential information. In case of doubt, do not attach any logging exceprt and try to describe the issue in case as precise as possible.
Usage of commands providing network access like mail, database and url and code that uses them.
