1. Our Commitment
Empathy Tech Solutions LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people of all abilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to all users.
Our Design Philosophy: Our applications are specifically designed for mature adults (45–85), with accessibility as a core principle—not an afterthought. This includes large text (minimum 18px), high contrast options, clear navigation, and intuitive interfaces.
2. Conformance Status
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone.
Our current conformance status:
| Standard | Status |
|---|---|
| WCAG 2.1 Level A | Partially Conformant |
| WCAG 2.1 Level AA | Partially Conformant |
| WCAG 2.1 Level AAA | Not Assessed |
"Partially Conformant" means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. We are actively working to achieve full conformance.
