Explanation of permissions required by the app NFC Tasks.

# Important notice :

Why do I need NFC Tasks for my tasks to work?
Yes, you do need another app to run the tasks on your NFC tag.
Having the proper permissions, NFC Tasks will run all the tasks recorded on your NFC tag. NFC Tasks is an extra app whose job is run tasks recorded by NFC Tools.

Why a separate app?
Running tasks require a lot of permissions, I wanted to keep as little required permissions as possible on NFC Tools (only NFC) in order to accommodate the people who don't want to use tasks.
