Hover Zoom had a similar problem recently, but still exists on the Chrome store. Up until a certain version, their data collection did nothing much (perhaps save non-existing domain hits).
Then they partnered with someone and started sending certain form data (!!) to a third party -- claiming they wanted to collect anonymous demographic information. It didn't help that the script injection on all pages (which I discovered when debugging with the web tools) used some shady domains with no web presence.
They claim they did not send e.g. any password data -- but they perfectly could have. I tried reporting the extension on the store as did many others, but that had no effect. The developer seems to have reverted that bit of the code -- for now.
