ICS File Viewer & Opener
Effective 31 August 2026 · com.arzdrz.ics_file_viewer
The calendar files you open never leave your phone. The app does its work on your own device.
This policy covers the mobile app ICS File Viewer & Opener, published by Akshay CP on Google Play. The app opens .ics and .vcs calendar invites on your phone, shows each event in your own time zone, and adds them to your calendar.
The calendar files you open stay on your device. The app does the work locally, using your phone's own processor and storage. Nothing you create or open is uploaded to me or to anyone else, and I have no way to see it.
Anything the app saves is written where you ask it to be written, and any list of recent items exists only on your device. Uninstalling the app removes it.
When you tap share, the app hands the file it has made to Android's own share sheet and you choose which app receives it. It goes straight from your device to whichever app you pick, and is subject to that app's privacy policy from then on. Nothing is shared unless you tap share and choose a destination.
Adding one event opens your calendar app's own "new event" screen, already filled in. You see exactly what will be saved and you tap Save yourself. The app needs no permission for this and never sees your calendar.
Adding every event in a file at once (a Pro feature) writes them straight into the calendar you pick, so Android asks for calendar access at the moment you use it, never at launch. With that access the app lists your calendars so you can choose one, and adds the events and their reminders. It does not read, copy, upload or change any event already in your calendar. Declining leaves every other part of the app working.
The free version of the app shows ads supplied by Google AdMob. To serve them, AdMob may access your device's advertising identifier — the Advertising ID — along with general information about your device such as its model, operating system version, language, rough location derived from your IP address, and how you interact with ads.
That information is handled by Google under its own privacy policy, which you can read at policies.google.com/privacy.
AdMob does not always supply the ad itself. It also passes the request on to partner ad networks and shows whichever one bids highest — in this app, Unity Ads and Meta Audience Network. When a partner network fills the slot it receives the same kind of information described above, including your advertising identifier, and handles it under its own privacy policy: Unity Ads and Meta Audience Network.
On Android, you can reset or delete your Advertising ID at any time in your device settings under Google › Ads.
Making the purchase described below stops ads being shown and stops the advertising identifier being used for advertising in this app.
The app offers a one-time purchase that unlocks its paid features and removes ads. Payments are processed by the store you installed the app from — Google Play Billing. I never see or store your card details. The app only records, on your own device, whether the purchase was made.
I do not run a server for this app. There are no accounts, no logins, and no analytics of my own. I do not collect your name, email address, contacts, photos or documents. The only data leaving your device is what Google AdMob and its partner ad networks collect to show ads, as described above.
This app is a general-purpose tool and is not directed at children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please get in touch and I will look into it.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
