It doesn't. What makes you think it does ?

Google Play Store page for ArgyllPRO, the pop-up that appears after
clicking "View details" under Permissions says:

This app has access to:
Device & app history

    read sensitive log data

(... etc)

I guess that the OP is worried about this permission, but it actually
has no effect since Android 4.1 (and should be removed from the app
manifest). See:
