I know, I'm running Marshmallow. But does it work?

I have one app (9292, public transportation). It's in Dutch,
but that can't be the problem ;-)).
It requires premission to access location and contacts. The
latter I don't want, so I've denied that.
Now, in the app I can choose a destination address from the
contacts. Given the denial I would expect that not to work,
but look and behold, it gives all my contacts exactly as if
I were using the Contacts app.

Which makes me wonder:
- Does the individual denial not work?
- Or am I bypassing the denial by manually and explictly
  starting the Contacts app from within the 9292 app?
