Feed Me Data (feedmedata.ai, the "Site") is meant to be usable by everyone, including people who rely on a keyboard, a screen reader, magnification, high contrast, or reduced motion. This statement says what standard we hold the Site to, how we check it, what we know falls short, and how to tell us when something is in your way.
1) The standard
We hold the Site to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, the standard the U.S. Department of Justice points to in its web accessibility guidance under the Americans with Disabilities Act. That covers colour contrast, text alternatives for images and charts, captions on first-party video, labelled forms with announced errors, full keyboard operation with visible focus, resizable and reflowing text, and a choice to turn off motion.
2) How we check
- On every change: an automated accessibility scan (axe-core) runs over every public page in the light, dark, and reading themes and at phone width, and a change that introduces a violation cannot be released.
- Every week: a wider automated sweep runs against a fresh build and records its result.
- Every quarter: a person walks the Site with a keyboard only, with a screen reader, at 200% zoom on a narrow screen, and with reduced motion switched on. Pages that need a signed-in account are included in that pass.
The last full review was completed on 14 September 2026 against WCAG 2.1 AA, in all three themes, on desktop and phone widths.
3) Features that help
- A "Skip to main content" link is the first item on every page.
- Three themes (light, dark, and reading) with contrast-checked colours, chosen from the footer; the Site also follows your operating system's dark-mode setting.
- Keyboard shortcuts for moving between sections can be turned off from the shortcut help, opened with the ? key.
- Charts on the data visualization pages carry a written summary or a data table for screen readers, and their tooltips open on keyboard focus as well as on hover.
- Anything that moves for more than a few seconds has a pause control and stays still when your system asks for reduced motion.
4) Known limitations
- Third-party media players and maps. Videos play in YouTube's embedded player and podcasts in the provider's audio stream; some maps use Leaflet. We label these embeds, keep them out of the way of keyboard users when they are decorative, and add our own keyboard controls around them, but we cannot change the controls inside them. Captions and transcripts for third-party media come from the original publisher.
- Very large charts. When a visualization has more than a few hundred points it switches to a drawing mode that has no per-point keyboard access; the written summary beside it carries the totals and the leading items instead.
5) Report a barrier
If any part of the Site is hard to use with assistive technology, or you find content that is not accessible to you, please tell us through the support form and choose the "Accessibility" topic. Say which page and what you were trying to do, and which browser or assistive technology you use. We aim to acknowledge every report within five business days and to prioritize confirmed barriers in the next release.
6) About this statement
This statement is reviewed with every quarterly accessibility review and whenever the standard we hold the Site to changes. It forms part of our Terms of Service and sits alongside our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer.
