Is there a privacy policy for this new feature/product?:
This should be covered by the Telemetry privacy policy
What assistance do you need from the privacy team (if any)?:
As already discussed, proper sampling requires the beta user population and so we want to enable Telemetry by default for the beta audience and also include telemetry data in the FHR data format.

Hi Ben - I've assigned to Alina and copied the members of the Privacy Council.  This would be a good one for the Privacy Council (formerly Privacy Friends) to review.

Hi Ben - Can you provide an update on the status of this?

Comment 3 has it right: the proposals were sent to mozilla.dev.privacy (and cc'ed to a bunch of other lists) over the past week and jishnu/gpiper are doing legal review to see exactly what changes are necessary in the Firefox privacy policy.
