I am worried that this Alien Dalvik layer acts like an Android OS that automatically says "yes, allow" on every request for data access from an Android application.

I hope somebody can throw in a technical explanation to prove the contrary and show us that Sailfish is not a data grabbing playground for Android applications on the loose.
My question: is there a mechanism there to protect the data from Sailfish apps?

I mean, if I can write a simple Flashligh app that grabs your emails, smses and contacts and sends it to me, would you notice? Could you limit your apps some way, like in Android (especially like PrivacyGuard in Cyanogenmod)?
