Boost For Lemmy

I was a long-time user of Boost for Reddit. Now that it is dead, I have moved over to Lemmy, in part because I saw that is what the creator of Boost was doing. My only question is what everyone thinks of the app Permissions for Boost for Lemmy. Right now I'm using Connect for Lemmy and it doesn't require nearly so many permissions as Boost will.require. Particularly purchase history, is that just so it can know if you purchased the app or is it your entire purchase history? And location. I'm not sure why it needs that. Can someone chime in on this. Maybe ELI5 the permissions for me?
