Gallery access permissions

I cannot find the answer so am asking here.

I have upgraded my Galaxy Tab s to 6.01.

It is just the default apps at present. One app I want to use is the stock Gallery. However when I try to open it it asks for access to my contacts, calendar and location.

If I do not give it such access it will not open. Why should I need to grant such permissions when I do not use any social networks? I just use Gallery to view images.

Any ideas please?
