I don't think you've ever said how the information is being sent without user permission or what the personal data is that is being sent.
The smolt developers would be the ones to reply this.
AFAIS (I banned smolt from my installations), it transmits a machine-id, several HW details (CPU brand, type, peripherials, bogomips) and OS details via http.
i.e. they have the IP, they have a "machine-id", and they have information which is not publicly available elsewhere.
