Limit data access for Android Apps

I bought Jolla because I don't trust Google and Android Apps. I had a Nokia n900. I wish to be able to decide what data are exposed to Android Apps. I don't know what granularity should be implemented, e.g. if it is necessary to have setting per app. But at least, I want to be able to decide what folder Android apps can see (linking the folder is fine) and if contacts and call logs can be retrieved. Additionally, I wish to limit the access to phone functionality, like retrieve GPS data, make phone calls, send SMS, etc.
