How to bind data to mvc partial view using angularjs directives

I have the following angular directive:

app.directive("partnersInfoView", function ($http) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function ($scope, element) {
            $http.get("/home/PartnerInfoTab") // immediately call to retrieve partial
              .success(function (data) {
                  element.html(data);  // replace insides of this element with response
              });
        }
    };
});

which basically goes to the MVC controller and returns a partial view

public ActionResult PartnerInfoTab()
{
    return PartialView("../ManagePartners/PartnerInfoTab");
}

in the parent view, I have the following declaration:

<div id="genericController" ng-controller="GenericController">
    <div partners-info-view></div>
</div>

which uses the angular directive to partially view, so far everything is working fine. Inside my angular genericController, I have a scope variable:

$scope.Data = data;

where data is a json object that comes as a response from the Rest service

Json Response e.g.

{[
    {"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"},
    {"firstName":"Anna", "lastName":"Smith"},
    {"firstName":"Peter", "lastName":"Jones"}
]}

The problem im is that I cannot bind the variable $ scope.Data in the directive template:

 <div id="PartnerInfoTab">
    <div class="form-group">
        <label class="col-md-2 control-label">Name</label>
        <div class="col-md-8">
            <input id="txt_name" class="form-control" type="text" ng-model="Data.firstName">
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

My question is: how do I pass the parent scope to the angular directive in order to be able to bind data to elements in a partial view. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.
