Hey there Livinginaclassic,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. To get started, we do want to let you know that your recovery contact would not have access to any information on your devices, and would only be used to retrieve a verification code if you need to access your account.
This information can be found in the article viewed before posting. Here it is again, along with that excerpt: Set up an account recovery contact - Apple Support
Your recovery contacts won't have any access to your account, only the ability to give you a code if you need one.
If you are ever concerned that your account has been compromised, this next resource has some great steps that can help with regaining access to your account: If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support
Let us know if that's able to help.
Have a great day!
