Just don’t give them access to your texts, contacts and photos? Like with any app that requests permissions it doesn’t need.

It's a big pile of spyware, you gain absolutely no benefit from it and it weakens our entire society to a huge external threat. The basic permissions are not enough to keep you safe while using that app, which is why it is banned by many countries for civilians or military personnel.
