The `updater` integration will check daily for new releases. It will show a badge in the frontend if a new version is found. As [Hass.io](/hassio/) has its own schedule for release it doesn't make sense to use this integration on Hass.io. The `updater` binary sensor will check daily for new releases. The state will be "on" when an update is available. Otherwise, the state will be "off". The newer version, as well as the link to the release notes, are attributes of the updater. As [Hass.io](/hassio/) has its own schedule for release it doesn't make sense to use this binary sensor on Hass.io.
The updater integration will also collect basic information about the running Home Assistant instance and its environment. The information includes the current Home Assistant version, the time zone, Python version and operating system information. No identifiable information (i.e., IP address, GPS coordinates, etc.) will ever be collected. If you are concerned about your privacy, you are welcome to scrutinize the Python [source code](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/updater.py#L91).
