Accessibility

この法的文書は英語で維持されています。

Short version: we build boreon.com so that people with weak eyesight, screen readers, keyboards, and slow hands can actually use it. We test our contrast with real numbers, we respect your motion settings, and if anything on this site is hard for you to use, we treat that as a bug and fix it.

Why this matters to us

Accessibility at Boreon is personal before it is professional. Our founder's eyesight is weakening, and he uses this site the same way you do. That is why high contrast, large readable type, and honest color choices are not a compliance checkbox here. They are how we want computing to feel for everyone, at every age, on every screen.

The standard we hold ourselves to

We aim for the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA, across every public page of boreon.com, and we push past it to level AAA wherever we can measure it. In our default theme, body text measures 19.8:1 against its background and secondary text measures 8.6:1, both beyond the AAA thresholds. Supporting text everywhere on the site meets at least the AA minimum of 4.5:1.

The site ships with twelve visual themes, including a light Daylight mode. Every one of them is contrast-tested with computed ratios, not eyeballed. Our BOREON-UI data palette, shown on our About page, was hand-mixed so that every categorical color holds at least 4.5:1 against white.

What we have built in

• Keyboard access. Everything interactive can be reached and operated from a keyboard, with a visible focus outline. Escape closes the menu, popovers, and dialogs.
• Reduced motion. If your system asks for reduced motion, our animations stop. Content appears without sweeps, reveals, or movement.
• Readable structure. Pages use semantic headings and landmarks, images carry alternative text, and form fields are labeled.
• Text that scales. Type is set in relative units, so browser zoom and system font settings work as expected, from a phone to an 8K display.
• Touch targets. Buttons and controls meet the 44 pixel minimum on phones, including the language switcher.
• No trackers. There are no third-party analytics or advertising scripts to interfere with assistive technology, or with you.

Known limitations

We would rather name these than hide them:

• Our legal pages and this statement are maintained in English. The rest of the site is available in English, German, French, and Italian.
• The live demo on our Swiss Backup page is drawn on a canvas. It carries a text description, and everything the demo conveys is also written in the page itself.
• Some photographs from older field projects carry brief alternative text. We improve these as we revisit each page.
• Saving our images and selecting or copying our text are disabled to protect our work. Form fields are exempt, and none of it affects screen readers, keyboards, or zoom.

Tell us what is in your way

If any part of this site is difficult for you to see, hear, navigate, or understand, we want to know. Write to privacy@boreon.com or use our contact page and tell us what happened and what browser or assistive technology you were using. We reply within five business days, and accessibility problems go to the front of the queue.

How we review

We review this statement and re-test the site whenever we change the design system, and at least twice a year. This page was last reviewed on August 20, 2026, against WCAG 2.1. Testing combines automated contrast measurement of every theme with hands-on keyboard and zoom checks.
