Handling of accessibility requests and complaints
Anyone has the right to request the provision of accessibility to a digital website, mobile application or some element thereof. You can also request that the information be made available through an alternative means of access, for example, by reading a digitally inaccessible document, describing the content of a film without an audiotape, and the like. The request should include the details of the person making the request, an indication of which website or mobile application is involved, and a method of contact. If the person making the request indicates the need to receive information through an alternative means of access, he should also specify a convenient way of presenting the information. The public entity should implement the request immediately, no later than within 7 days from the date of the request. If it is not possible to meet this deadline, the public entity shall immediately inform the requester when it will be possible to fulfill the request, but the deadline shall not be longer than 2 months from the date of the request. If it is not possible to provide digital accessibility, the public entity may propose an alternative way to access the information. If the public entity refuses to comply with the request to provide accessibility or an alternative way of accessing the information, the requester may file a complaint about the provision of digital accessibility of the website, mobile application or an element of the website or mobile application. After exhausting the procedure indicated above, a request may also be submitted to the Ombudsman.
