That's true only if you keep your contacts book on your phone empty, or if
you list all your contacts on Flickr website, with all their phone numbers,
addresses, etc.

is that so on Android? it's not the case on iOS - i don't know that from
specific experience, i know because all third party apps require permission
to access contacts

Yes, Steve, I was talking about Android.
(Sorry, I had written that in my previous message in this thread but didn't explicitly repeated in the one you responded to). On Android Flickr app gets permission to read contacts. I am not priveleged to know what it then does with that information.

Note, that on Android you do not have a possibility to choose which individual permissions you grant or not to a certain app: you either accept the list of the permissions required by the app at the time of installation/update, or you do not install the app. From what I understand, this is quite different from what you can do on iOS (at least on iOS 6).

I hope this clarifies my previous response.

Igor
