Last updated March 2026

1. Our Commitment

GeroWallet (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people of all abilities. We strive to continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards to make our website and services as accessible as possible.

This statement applies to the GeroWallet website at https://gerowallet.io and all related web pages and services.

2. Conformance Standard

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the internationally recognized standard for web accessibility and addresses the most common barriers encountered by users with disabilities.

Conformance with these guidelines helps make web content accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities, including those with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

3. Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following accessibility features on our website:

3.1 Navigation & Structure

  • Keyboard navigation: All interactive elements are accessible via keyboard (Tab, Enter, Escape, and arrow keys)
  • Skip links: A “Skip to main content” link is provided to bypass navigation on every page
  • ARIA landmarks: Proper landmark roles are used to identify page regions (banner, navigation, main, contentinfo)
  • Heading hierarchy: Proper heading structure (H1 through H6) is maintained on every page
  • Breadcrumb navigation: Breadcrumb trails are provided for orientation and easy navigation

3.2 Visual Accessibility

  • Color contrast: Text and interactive elements are designed to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA contrast ratios (minimum 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text)

5. Known Limitations

Despite our efforts to ensure accessibility, some areas of our website may not yet be fully accessible. Known limitations include:

  • Animated content: Some animated backgrounds and transitions may not have full motion-reduction support. We are working to honour the prefers-reduced-motion media query across all animations.
  • Third-party content: Some third-party integrations (such as embedded forms or external widgets) may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. We work with our partners to encourage accessibility improvements.
  • PDF documents: Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible. We are working to remediate these or provide accessible alternatives upon request.

We are actively working to resolve these issues and improve our overall accessibility.
