Placer.ai has taken and continues to take the following measures to ensure accessibility of our platform and website:

- Color Contrast: Careful attention to color contrast ratios to ensure readability for users with low vision or color blindness.

- ARIA Implementation: Use of Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) attributes where necessary to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and advanced user interface controls.
Technical Specifications
Accessibility of Placer.ai relies on the following technologies to work with the particular combination of web browser and any assistive technologies or plugins installed on a customer’s computer:
- HTML
- WAI-ARIA
- CSS
- JavaScript
We support the latest versions of major browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We recommend our customers use the most up-to-date versions of their preferred browser and assistive technology for the best experience.
Assessment Approach
Placer.ai assesses the accessibility of its platform and website through a combination of:
- Self-evaluation by our internal teams.
- Automated accessibility testing tools.
- Manual testing, including assistive technology compatibility checks (e.g., screen readers).
- Periodic third-party accessibility audits, particularly for our Accessible Package.
Limitations, Alternatives, and Ongoing Efforts
While Placer.ai strives to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the platform and website perfectly, especially within our Foundations Package or with legacy content. We are continually seeking out solutions that will bring all areas of our platform and website up to the same level of overall web accessibility.
Known limitations may include:
- Complex Data Visualizations: Some complex maps, charts, and graphs may present challenges for certain assistive technologies. We are actively exploring alternative representations and summary data options.
- Third-Party Integrations: Content or functionality provided by third-party plugins or integrations may not fully conform to our accessibility standards. We encourage vendors to provide accessible solutions.
- Legacy Content: Older sections of our platform or website might have accessibility issues that we are working to address.
Customers who encounter an accessibility barrier may contact Placer.ai, and we will work to provide an alternative means of accessing the information or functionality.
