Why does the Theme Store require Contacts and Telephone permissions?

I just upgraded my SM-G920I to Marshmallow and now the Theme Store wants Telephone and Contacts permissions. It won't launch unless I give it. Why would the app require such a permission? Galaxy Apps is also demanding access to Contacts. Anybody has any clue?
