Building an inclusive online environment means ensuring everyone, regardless of ability, has equal access to digital experiences. We are dedicated to this principle and committed to creating and maintaining products that align with global accessibility standards like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the upcoming European Accessibility Act (EAA). In this blog post, we delve into our ongoing efforts to prioritize accessibility.
Background on the Upcoming EAA Updates:
The European Accessibility Act (EAA), set to take effect in June 2025, represents a significant step forward in ensuring digital accessibility across the European Union. This legislation mandates that a wide range of products and services, including e-commerce platforms, banking services, and electronic communications, must be accessible to individuals with disabilities. The EAA aims to harmonize accessibility requirements across EU member states, fostering a more inclusive digital market. Key aspects include:
- Broad Scope: The EAA covers a wide array of digital products and services, impacting how businesses design and deliver their offerings.
- Harmonized Standards: It promotes the use of harmonized standards, like WCAG 2.2 AA, to ensure consistent accessibility across the EU.
- Enforcement: Member states will be responsible for enforcing the EAA, meaning businesses must proactively address accessibility to avoid penalties.
We are committed to achieving and maintaining Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA compliance across our platform, delivering an accessible experience for every user.
