Below, you will find Digication’s Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT). The purpose of a VPAT is to provide a thorough record of the measures we have taken to ensure that our product is accessible for those with disabilities. We consider it our utmost responsibility to ensure that no users are excluded for any reason, and are committed to providing a product that is fully accessible. This is an ongoing process, requiring constant evaluation, feedback, and improvement, and an important aspect of this process is clearly documenting and communicating to our community the various accessibility measures we have taken.
We rely on the Revised 508 Standards for IT accessibility and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, as our standard for accessibility.
This version of the VPAT was published on December 1st, 2023. For a summary of the changes that have been implemented since the previous version of our VPAT, please see the following announcement.
