If you use Windows at all, all your sensitive data is going through Windows!
Pidgin is a client. Even the OTR add on is a client add on.
I guess you are really talking about the encryption support, but most
non-open source software that runs on Windows will rely on the
encryption provide by Windows, and you are certainly relying on Windows
not leaking any data around the encryption, even if you are using
OpenSSL, etc., for the encryption.
Note that Pidgin provides no servers. Even the OTR stuff uses third
party servers.
