Do you have more details on the data or how you discovered the leak?
For example the update manager is of course checking for updates from
time to time (not only at reboot) so what you noticed could also be
this. Similar if you are using Ubuntu one - then of course there is
data transfer from and to Canonical which would be no wonder.

I agree with you: The user should be asked at first logon if he/she
wants to enable online searches and the like in the dash.
