Avast UI calling out?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

My firewall has reported that when i open up the avast UI it is transmitting data of some sort.
Could somebody explain what avast is doing here?

Its not a major issue but i am slightly curious to know why the interface would be calling out.
Thanks.
