Mobile accessibility statement

We are working towards as many people as possible being able to use our mobile application (app). This means you should be able to use your device settings to:

• change display options like dark mode, bold text, reduce transparency and increase contrast
• apply the maximum text size and display zoom without content clipping or overlapping
• use the app features with a keyboard or speech recognition software
• access the app content and features using a screen reader

We’ve also tried to make the app text easy to understand.

Making our app accessible is an ongoing project. Our first priority is to make sure accessibility options configured in your device settings are supported. User feedback can help us understand if accessibility options configured in our app are also needed.

Our commitment to mobile accessibility

Digital accessibility means developing interfaces and features that are easy for everyone to use, no matter what their abilities - visual, hearing, motor or cognitive.

This means we:

• use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) v2.2 level AA and other international standards such as EN 301 549, as they apply to mobile accessibility
• use guidance from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to inform our standards
• do our best to make sure that vendors developing or designing for us also comply with accessibility standards and requirements
• respond positively when customers let us know something isn’t accessible and work to fix it.
