Accessibility Statement
DRAFT — PLACEHOLDER. This text is a structural placeholder pending review by an accessibility consultant and legal counsel. The conformance claims below must be verified by an audit before this statement is published.
Last reviewed: 8 July 2026
1. Our Commitment
TidyChat is committed to making its website usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. We treat accessibility as an ongoing obligation rather than a one-time project.
2. Conformance Target
This website aims to conform to:
- WCAG 2.1 Level AA — the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines published by the W3C.
- IS 5568 — the Israeli web accessibility standard, as required by the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Accessibility Adjustments to a Service) Regulations, 5773-2013.
- The European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882), as transposed into Romanian law.
We describe our conformance status as partially conformant: most of the site meets WCAG 2.1 AA, and the known gaps are listed in section 5.
3. Measures Taken
- Semantic HTML with landmark regions, a skip-to-content link, and a logical heading order.
- Full keyboard operability with a visible focus indicator on every interactive element.
- Colour contrast meeting the WCAG 2.1 AA minimum for text and interface components.
- All animation and motion is suppressed when the browser or operating system requests reduced motion.
- Right-to-left support for Hebrew, including mirrored layout and controls.
- Automated accessibility testing (axe-core) runs on every change to this site; a build is rejected when a critical or serious violation is detected.
4. Accessibility Tools on This Site
Every page carries an accessibility toolbar, reachable from the persistent button in the lower corner of the screen (marked with the universal access symbol). It can also be opened from the keyboard by tabbing to that button and pressing Enter.
The toolbar offers:
- Larger text — increases the site's text size in two steps.
- High contrast — raises the contrast of text against its background.
- Greyscale — removes colour.
- Highlight links — underlines and outlines every link.
- Reduce motion — stops animation, movement, and automatic transitions.
- Readable font — switches to a font tuned for legibility.
- Reset — restores every setting to its default.

5. Known Limitations
Despite our efforts, the following are known gaps. We are working to resolve them.
- [PLACEHOLDER: KNOWN LIMITATIONS] — to be completed after the independent accessibility audit. Typical entries: third-party embedded content, video captions, and complex interactive charts.
- Some documents on this site are drafts pending legal review and may not yet carry their final structure.
6. Feedback and Contact

- Romania / EU — [PLACEHOLDER: NATIONAL EAA ENFORCEMENT BODY].
8. Preparation of This Statement
This statement was prepared on 8 July 2026 and last reviewed on 8 July 2026. It is based on a self-assessment of the website:
- Continuous automated conformance testing with axe-core against the WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA rulesets. The tests run on every code change, in a real browser, against representative pages (home, pricing, a legal document, and this statement) in both left-to-right and right-to-left layouts, and a change that introduces a critical or serious violation cannot be deployed.
- The accessibility toolbar is itself covered by automated functional tests: keyboard operability, focus management, and persistence of preferences.
- Manual keyboard-navigation checks.
Automated tools detect only a subset of WCAG requirements. An independent audit is planned — [PLACEHOLDER: THIRD-PARTY AUDIT — name of auditor and date] — and until it completes we describe the site as partially conformant.
The legal entity responsible for this website is [PLACEHOLDER: LEGAL ENTITY NAME].
