I'm a developer interested in using DataTables for a application I am developing. However, I am dealing with some very personal and potentially sensitive information and am concerned about any data I pass to DataTables. Does the plugin send and store data elsewhere other than my application?

No - absolutely not.
It stores the data for the table in its on internal memory, which lasts for the life cycle of the page (i.e. close the tab and it is destroyed just like any program). And if you were to use something like the debugger then yes information would be uploaded. But out of the box, DataTables does not and never will phone home.
