Last Updated: March 2026
PrivateDeals ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to making our website and services accessible to people of all abilities. We believe that digital accessibility is not just a legal requirement but an ethical responsibility. We continuously work to improve the accessibility of our digital platforms to ensure everyone can access the information and services we provide.
Our website is designed to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These are internationally recognized standards for web accessibility developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Our commitment includes:
Perceivable: Information and user interface components are presented in ways that can be perceived by users, regardless of their sensory abilities.
Operable: All functionality is available from a keyboard, and users have sufficient time to read and use content.
Understandable: Text and interface operations are clear and understandable, written in simple language.
Robust: Content is compatible with current and future assistive technologies.
Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard. Users can tab through interactive elements, and all functionality is accessible without requiring a mouse or touchpad.
Our website is designed to work with popular screen readers and assistive technologies, including JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver. All images have descriptive alt text, videos have captions, and forms are properly labeled.
Text and background colors maintain sufficient contrast ratios to ensure readability for users with low vision or color blindness. We meet or exceed WCAG AA standards for color contrast.
Our website uses clear, readable fonts and appropriate font sizes. Users can zoom in up to 200% without loss of functionality or text wrapping issues.
All form fields are properly labeled and associated with their input elements. Error messages are clear and provide guidance on how to correct mistakes.
Our website uses proper heading hierarchies and semantic HTML to create a logical and easy-to-navigate structure for users and assistive technologies.
Our website is fully responsive and works seamlessly on all devices, including smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers.
Our website is compatible with a wide range of browsers and assistive technologies, including:
Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge (latest versions)
JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver screen readers
Voice recognition software
Co-browsing assistive technologies
While we strive for complete accessibility, we recognize that some third-party content or services may have accessibility limitations beyond our direct control. This includes:
Embedded third-party maps or services
Third-party advertising or analytics tools
Linked external websites
We are actively working to improve these areas and welcome feedback on any accessibility issues you encounter.
We conduct regular accessibility audits using both automated testing tools and manual testing by accessibility specialists. This includes:
Automated WCAG compliance scanning
Manual testing with screen readers
Keyboard-only navigation testing
Color contrast verification
User testing with people with disabilities
We regularly review and update our website to improve accessibility. As we make improvements, we will update this Accessibility Statement to reflect changes and new features. We encourage visitors to check back periodically for updates.
