Flock Digital Accessibility Statement

Conformance With WCAG 2.1 Guidelines

For example, we continuously monitor and improve the accessibility of our digital platforms in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines cover a variety of accessibility issues, including text alternatives for images, proper contrast ratios, navigability via keyboard, and other features that support users with disabilities.

Some of the accessibility features are:

• Operability:
• • Our digital content is partially navigable using only a keyboard.
  • Keyboard focus does not get trapped in any part of the content.
  • Web browsers, authoring tools, and other tools provide keyboard support.
  • Content does not cause seizures and physical reactions.
  • Pages have clear titles and are organized using descriptive section headings.
  • The purpose of a link is evident, ideally even when the link is viewed on its own.

• Readability:
• • Text is readable and understandable
  • Text alternatives are equivalents for non-text content
  • User interface components that are repeated on web pages have the same labels each time
  • Descriptive instructions, error messages, and suggestions for correction

• Image Text: All relevant images on our website are accompanied by descriptive alt text.

• Color:
• • We ensure sufficient color contrast ratios between text and background to enhance readability during development process.
  • Color is not used as the only way of conveying information or identifying content.

• Audio & Captioning:
• • Video and audio content is supplemented with transcripts and captions wherever possible.
  • Users can pause, stop, or adjust the volume of audio that is played on a website.

• Compatibility: We work to make our digital assets compatible with assistive technologies, such as screen readers, voice recognition software, and other tools commonly used by individuals with disabilities.

Legal Compliance

In addition to our efforts to comply with WCAG guidelines, we comply with:

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act
Local/State/Federal-Specific Accessibility Requirements

Ongoing Efforts

We understand that accessibility is an ongoing process. For example, our web accessibility components are actively being updated as highlighted above. Notably, we also have a goal to comply with applicable accessibility standards included in the W3C’s WCAG 2.2 A and AA guidelines.

To achieve our goals, our team regularly evaluates the accessibility of our digital platforms and seeks feedback from users to ensure that we are meeting their needs. We use this feedback as part of our process to make any necessary adjustments to improve the usability and accessibility of our digital assets.
