That is one fundamental benefit in Sailfish security that Android apps can´t access all data. Risk for mallware etc. is a lot greater in Android apps and even more so with "not Google play-stores" loaded apps.

I'm ok that android apps can't access all data from sailfish. I don't know how android contact access works in jolla. Apps access to jolla contact db directly via android api? Or there is an "android contact db" which is populated from jolla contacts db, and is this one which is accessed by android apps via android api?
