Enginetric, the publisher of HDDNews.pl, aims to make the portal accessible in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA. This statement applies to the HDDNews.pl website (https://hddnews.pl).

The publisher is not a public body within the meaning of the Polish Act of 4 April 2019 on the digital accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public bodies (Journal of Laws 2023, item 1440). We publish this statement voluntarily, following the template the Act sets out for public bodies.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 AA due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.

Non-accessible content

  • Titles of foreign-language documents in the source lists below articles are not marked with their language, so a screen reader may read them with the pronunciation of the page language.

  • Illustrative photos have short alternative text. They do not show specific places or people.

Exemptions

Feedback and contact

Please report accessibility problems to redakcja@hddnews.pl. You can also use this address to request content in an alternative format, for example a description of an image or the text in a file. Please include the page address and a description of the problem. We reply without delay and within 7 days at the latest. If accessibility cannot be provided within that time, we will tell you and give a date no later than 2 months, or offer another way to access the content.

Complaints

The publisher is not a public body, so the request and complaint procedure of the Polish digital accessibility act, including an application to the Commissioner for Human Rights, does not apply to this website. If you are not satisfied with our reply, please contact us again at the same address. The publisher handles every report.

Physical accessibility

The portal is published online only. The editorial office does not receive readers on its premises, so information on physical accessibility does not apply.

Mobile apps

The publisher does not provide a mobile app.
