Accessibility Statement

MyFinancePlatform 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.

Our Commitment

We believe that financial planning tools should be accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. Our commitment to accessibility includes:

• Providing equal access to information and functionality
• Designing with accessibility in mind from the start
• Regular testing and improvement of our platform
• Training our team on accessibility best practices
• Listening to feedback from users with disabilities

Accessibility Standards

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards, published by the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities.

WCAG 2.1 Principles

Our accessibility efforts are guided by the four main principles of WCAG:

• Perceivable: Information must be presentable in ways users can perceive
• Operable: Interface components must be operable by all users
• Understandable: Information and operation of the UI must be understandable
• Robust: Content must be robust enough to work with various assistive technologies

Accessibility Features

• Navigate through all interactive elements using the Tab key

Screen Reader Support

We design our platform to work well with screen readers by:

• Using semantic HTML markup
• Providing descriptive alt text for images
• Including proper heading structure
• Using ARIA labels and descriptions where needed

Visual Design

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, we acknowledge some current limitations:
