This document is an accessibility statement from SiteLint.
What is Digital Accessibility?
Digital accessibility refers to providing web-based information, digital content, applications, and resources that are available and used by people regardless of disability or impairment. Accessible online content provides an equal experience for all, including those with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities or impairments. Often, people using the web or web applications need to use assistive technologies, so our site and other online content must be built properly for those devices to access all the information correctly.
What are assistive technologies?
For individuals with disabilities, various means of assistive technologies exist to aid in their access to digital information. These assistive technologies include the following: screen reading software, magnification software, speech recognition software, alternative input devices, and refreshable braille displays.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. SiteLint is fully conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Fully conformant means that the content fully conforms to the accessibility standard without any exceptions.
