Conduit.com is the company behind the toolbar and it does appears to be cleanware.   So logically if this thing doesn't give you spyware, popups or sell you anything , whats the benefits for the company who codes the toolbar and the users who customise it ?

If you look through the Conduit site it's vague about why they offer this service and what they do with the data collected. Do they sell it as aggreated data, sell personalised search historys and data tracks to others, etc etc. 

For their customers though theres a clear benefit - they get reward financial rewards (link above) for the toolbars performace and number of downloads.     

So - IMHO - the main question has to be is this right or wrong?

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
