Accessibility Statement
Sentimentick is committed to improving accessibility across our informational research platform. This statement describes our current conformance status, known limitations, and how to request assistance.
Last updated: May 26, 2026
1. Our Commitment
Sentimentick, Inc. ("Sentimentick") is committed to making the Sentimentick website and application (the "Service") accessible to people with disabilities. We aim to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA over time.
Sentimentick is an informational research platform. Accessibility improvements support all users who rely on assistive technologies to review market sentiment, narratives, and related data.
2. Conformance Status
The Service is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.
We are actively working to improve accessibility across marketing pages, authenticated dashboards, tables, charts, and interactive controls.
3. Measures We Take
- Semantic HTML structure and heading hierarchy on key pages.
- Keyboard-operable custom controls, including filter dropdowns with listbox semantics where implemented.
- ARIA labels on sort controls, filters, and primary navigation landmarks.
- English as the primary document language (`lang="en"` on pages).
- Sufficient color contrast targets on core UI, with ongoing review of chart and badge elements.
- Responsive layouts intended to support zoom up to 200% without loss of core functionality on most pages.
- An in-app Accessibility menu (floating control, bottom-right) with text sizing, high contrast, reduced motion, link underlining, and enhanced keyboard focus options. Preferences are saved in your browser.
- A skip-to-main-content link for keyboard and screen reader users.
- Development-time automated accessibility checks using axe-core.
4. In-App Accessibility Menu
Use the Accessibility button on any page to open the accessibility menu. You can adjust text size, enable high contrast, reduce motion, underline links, and strengthen focus outlines. Settings persist in your browser until you reset them.
This menu supplements—but does not replace—your operating system and browser accessibility settings. It is intended to improve usability while we continue native remediation across the product.
5. Known Limitations
Despite our efforts, some areas of the Service may present accessibility barriers, including:
- Data visualizations and charts (for example, Recharts-based graphs) that may not expose all data points to screen readers in an equivalent text format.
- Color-coded sentiment, attention, and status indicators where meaning may not always be duplicated in text.
- Dense data tables with horizontal scrolling on smaller viewports.
- Motion and animation on marketing pages (for example, Framer Motion transitions) that may affect users sensitive to motion.
- Some third-party embedded content or payment flows that we do not fully control.
- Occasional contrast or focus visibility issues in dark-theme interface elements.
We welcome reports of specific barriers so we can prioritize fixes.
6. Assistive Technology Compatibility
The Service is designed to work with modern browsers and common assistive technologies, including recent versions of screen readers, screen magnifiers, and speech recognition tools. We do not certify compatibility with every browser, device, or assistive technology combination.
For the best experience, use an up-to-date browser and enable JavaScript, which is required for core application functionality.
