This wording is provided for transparency and remains subject to final legal review. Where it differs from rights you have under applicable law, the law prevails.

We want everyone to be able to find work, hire and take part in research on Lonesyte, including people who use assistive technology.

  1. 1.Our target

    We design and test against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA where reasonably applicable. We have not had an external audit, so we do not claim formal conformance or certification.

  2. 2.What we do

    • Keyboard access and a visible focus indicator across core flows.
    • Labelled form fields and error messages that screen readers announce.
    • Statuses that are conveyed by text, not colour alone.
    • Light and dark themes, and reduced motion when your system requests it.
    • Touch targets sized for mobile use.

  3. 3.Known limitations

    • The interactive globe on the contributor map is visual; the same results are available as a list.
    • Some documents uploaded by other users may not be accessible.

  4. 4.Tell us about a barrier

    If something is hard or impossible to use, email support@lonesyte.com with the page and what happened. We aim to reply within five business days.
