What data it declares
The developer declares that it does not collect or use your data.
The developer also certifies that your data is not sold to third parties outside approved uses, not used for purposes unrelated to the extension's core function, and not used to decide creditworthiness or lending.
The listing does not link to a privacy policy.
This is the developer's own declaration in the Chrome Web Store. We cannot check it against what the extension does.
What Chrome asks you to allow
From the permissions it declares, Chrome shows no permission warning when you add it.
Derived from the manifest by Chrome's documented rules; the dialog's exact wording depends on your Chrome version and language. Chrome asks again if an update requests more.
What it can reach
No site access is declared in the manifest, so it cannot read the pages you open on its own.
Worth knowing

Routine for an extension
What it may ask for later
Not granted when you add it: Chrome asks you the moment the extension requests one of these, and you can refuse.

What the store shows
The store shows none of its badges on this listing. Most listings carry none.
Has it asked for more over time?
This is the question a permission list on its own cannot answer. An extension that shipped narrow and widened later is a different proposition from one that always asked for the same thing.
