Is there a program like xprivacy for non rooted device?

I just bought a S6 Active as my S4 took a dive. I usually don't buy a new phone if there isn't at least a root method for it. But, this time I didn't listen to myself. Now I have a nice phone but, don't want to install anything on it as I can't manage app permissions. I managed to disable most of the bloat on the phone but, I have not been able to find an x privacy replacement. Is there such an app?

With the way apps request everything under the sun even things they have no use for I don't feel safe. So should I just keep my phone app free until there is a root method or just install the apps I want and throw caution into the wind?

That being said, has anyone not read the Facebook app permissions taken ? and decided to install that **** anyway ? Sure let me allow you to see my contacts, when and how often I contact them. IT Lobbyists have this country's lawmakers where they want them, in their pocket $$$. Allowing this breach of security and privacy to take place is a criminal act. People need to speak up and stop being sheep.
