How does this apply to Clearbit which saves the Google Contact list of everyone who installs their extension [0][1] and then sells this data [2] ?

They have >150K extension users, so they are syncing a massive contact list with personal information that they are then selling via their different products like Prospector [3].

Couldn't find anything on those links or Google about them scraping your contact list.

Would you have any proof or evidence supporting that statement?
