Beauty Care Choices is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone, and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Efforts to support accessibility

Beauty Care Choices takes the following measures to ensure accessibility:

• Accessibility is part of our mission statement.
• Accessibility is part of our internal policies.

Current accessibility standard of the site

WCAG 2.1 level AA

Current content conformance status

Fully conformant: the content fully conforms to the accessibility standard without any exceptions.

Measures to support accessibility

The website is accessible to users with disabilities, including persons using a keyboard and those with visual and cognitive impairments.
Measures have been taken to ensure that you are able to:

• Resize text, adjust text spacing, and change fonts by adjusting browser settings (for example, this can be done in the appearance settings in Chrome or in Firefox’s preferences).
• Have sufficient color contrast on all areas of the site. You can change colors by adjusting the browser settings. Typically this can be done in the appearance settings, such as the font and color preferences in Firefox. There are also plug-ins that work with certain browsers, such as Change Colors on Google Chrome.
• Navigate the website using just a keyboard and access all interactive elements.
• Zoom in at least 200%. Text will reflow so it can be presented without loss of information or functionality.
• Use the content in your desired orientation. Both landscape and portrait layouts will work responsively with the content.
• Listen and use the website with a screen reader (ex. NVDA, VoiceOver, JAWS). All functionality within Beauty Care Choices is accessible to these technologies.
• Understand page hierarchy due to proper heading structure and the reading order being set correctly.
• Utilize text-to-speech tools on Beauty Care Choices. There are many browser plug-in tools (such as Natural Reader for Chrome) that work on Beauty Care Choices. Some technology has text-to-speech software built into the device’s accessibility settings.
• Access alternative text for images that are a part of the interface. Content contributed directly by Beauty Care Choices and users will display any supplied alternative text and descriptions of content.
• Understand link destinations without surrounding context.

We regularly use automated checks and manual audits to evaluate and measure the accessibility of the site.
