It's probably less sinister than it reads. One instance where it really benefits the game to "share data with third parties" is online Age of Empires II (DE). There is a lot of cool content on Twitch and YouTube and there are tournaments, and I think this makes the game more interesting than it would be otherwise. It's only possible because people can spectate ranked online games. Also, there are pages like aoe2insights.com which provide leaderboards, and analyze public ranked games.
I think this is probably some catch-all legalese they "have" to write there, and this is a case of the EULA becoming so stupidly nondescript that it allows everything and explains nothing. It would be probably better though if they said in each game "hey, we will share your score and recordings of ranked games with other players, if you don't want that click here".
