No hay una función específica en el panel de control de Flash, instalado en Preferencias del Sistema, para desactivar el envío de esos datos a Adobe, por lo que hay que añadir una entrada al archivo mms.cfg. Esto permitiría desactivar incluso las actualizaciones automáticas usando las siguientes entradas:

AutoUpdateDisable=1
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
DisableAnalytics=1
