Accessibility Commitments

1. Standards Followed

Zoant is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards:

• We strive to conform to level AA of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1

• Our design and development processes incorporate accessibility best practices, including:
  • Providing text alternatives for non-text content
  • Creating content that can be presented in different ways without losing information
  • Making all functionality available from a keyboard
  • Providing users enough time to read and use content
  • Making text content readable and understandable
  • Making web pages appear and operate in predictable ways
  • Maximizing compatibility with current and future user tools

2. Limitations and Exceptions

While we strive for universal accessibility, there may be limitations to our current implementation:

• Certain third-party content or applications integrated within our Site may not be fully accessible, despite our best efforts to select accessible partners
• Legacy content created before the implementation of our accessibility policy may not meet all standards, though we are working to update such content
• Some content types (like highly interactive data visualizations) may have limited accessibility alternatives, but we strive to provide equivalent experiences when possible
• During site updates or maintenance, temporary accessibility issues may arise, which we aim to address promptly

If you encounter accessibility barriers on our Site or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us at [accessibility@zoant.design]. We welcome your feedback and are committed to addressing accessibility issues in a timely manner.
