# Accessibility Statement

**Last updated: February 6, 2026**

## Our Commitment

Digital Vibes Inc. is committed to ensuring that MACROVISONOMICS is accessible to all users, including people with disabilities. We strive to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards and continually work to improve the accessibility of our platform.

## Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following accessibility features:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Keyboard Navigation" icon="keyboard">
    All interactive elements can be accessed using keyboard navigation. Use Tab to move forward, Shift+Tab to move backward, and Enter or Space to activate elements.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Screen Reader Support" icon="volume-up">
    Our website is designed to work with popular screen readers including JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver. We use ARIA labels and semantic HTML to ensure content is properly announced.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Color Contrast" icon="palette">
    We maintain sufficient color contrast ratios between text and backgrounds to ensure readability for users with visual impairments or color blindness.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Dark Mode" icon="moon">
    A dark theme is available to reduce eye strain and improve readability for users sensitive to bright screens.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Resizable Text" icon="text-height">
    Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality using browser zoom controls.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Focus Indicators" icon="crosshairs">
    Visible focus indicators are provided for all interactive elements to help keyboard users track their position on the page.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Alternative Text" icon="image">
    Images and charts include alternative text descriptions to convey information to users who cannot see them.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Consistent Navigation" icon="compass">
    Navigation is consistent throughout the website, making it easier for users to predict where to find information.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Chart Accessibility

We understand that data visualization can present accessibility challenges. We have implemented the following chart-specific accessibility features:

* **ARIA Roles & Labels**: Charts use `role="figure"` with descriptive `aria-label` attributes that include chart type, indicator name, and data source
* **Screen Reader Summaries**: Every chart includes a visually hidden data summary for screen readers, describing the chart type, indicators, countries, data range, and total data points
* **Keyboard Navigation**: Chart containers are keyboard-focusable with `tabIndex` support, and all navigation buttons (download, expand, year selection, play/pause) have descriptive `aria-label` attributes
* **Live Regions**: Chart data update areas use `aria-live="polite"` so screen readers announce when data changes
* **Decorative Elements**: Watermarks and decorative SVG elements are marked with `aria-hidden="true"` to prevent screen reader clutter
* **Data Tables**: The Data tab provides a fully accessible table view as an alternative to visual charts
* **Distinct Colors**: Charts use color schemes designed for colorblind accessibility

## Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some areas are still being improved:

* Some complex interactive charts (Sankey, Parallel Coordinates) may have limited screen reader support for individual data elements
* Third-party embedded content may not meet all accessibility standards

We are actively working to address these limitations.

## Assistive Technologies

MACROVISONOMICS is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

* Screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack)
* Screen magnification software
* Speech recognition software
* Keyboard-only navigation
