Partners include people like you and me that work with them on specific experiments. Depending on the kind of data, for example Normandy [1] data, Nimbus [2] data are used on those experiments and help to develop and improve the product. Results of those specifically are usually private [3], but other telemetry are public [4] which also collects what could be considered PII.

That might be part of the data they share, but they also clearly said in the blog post I linked above that they also share some data with their ad partners.
