1. Our commitment
Securely is committed to making our scam-protection service usable by as many people as possible, including older adults, people with disabilities, and users with situational needs (bright sunlight, small screens, one-handed use). We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA across both the Securely website and Android app.
2. Built-in accessibility features
- Adjustable font size: scale text up from Preferences across the whole app.
- High-contrast mode: a dedicated high-contrast theme designed for low-vision users.
- Reduced motion: disables non-essential animations for users with vestibular sensitivity, and honours your operating system's "reduce motion" setting.
- Keyboard navigation: interactive elements are reachable and operable with a keyboard; focus indicators are visible.
- Screen readers: we use semantic HTML, ARIA labels on custom controls, and descriptive alt text for meaningful images.
- Colour and contrast: we design for AA contrast on primary text and interactive controls in both light and dark themes.
- Plain-language design: results, alerts and lessons aim to use clear, jargon-light language and to explain risk in terms non-experts can act on.
3. Known limitations
We work continuously to improve accessibility. At the time of writing we are aware that:
- Some AI-generated PDF reports may not yet be fully tagged for assistive technology.
- A small number of complex charts on the Threat Dashboard rely on visual patterns; equivalent text summaries are provided alongside.
- Third-party components (e.g. payment forms) may not fully match our accessibility standards.
If you encounter a barrier, please tell us — see Contact below — and we will prioritise a fix.
4. Standards we aim to meet
We aim to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. For UK users, we also consider the Equality Act 2010 and — where applicable to public sector service integrations — the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
