Web Accessibility Conformance

Overview

At Clapself, we're committed to making our talent platform accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. Our platform aligns with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 and aims to be compliant with the principles of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and other accessibility standards.

Our accessibility approach is guided by ongoing testing, user feedback, and expert consultation to ensure an inclusive experience for everyone, regardless of their needs.

VPAT Statement

What is a VPAT?

The Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) is a document used to evaluate how accessible a product is according to Section 508 standards and WCAG. We provide this document to offer transparency into the accessibility of our platform and help our clients and partners make informed decisions.

Current Accessibility Compliance

Our VPAT details how the platform meets the requirements outlined by WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508. It includes an assessment of all relevant criteria, outlining any known limitations and planned improvements.
