Ah, so instead of asking the user for permission to access something, an app also would need another app's permission to access that data. Of course, this has already been pioneered by companies implementing DRM, but still, I wonder how this can be implemented in a general sense.

The only way for any other app to access them is for the owning app to specifically set up an interface and permissions to access it, and the accessing app to request those permissions at install time. I don't have much experience with iOS, but I expect it does something similar.
