Accessibility Statement
Effective date: September 1, 2026 · Last reviewed: September 1, 2026
Proscris is committed to making proscris.com and the Proscris Workbench browser extension usable by everyone, including people who rely on assistive technology.
Drafted under New York State & New York City Human Rights Law
1. Our Commitment
We want everyone — regardless of ability, assistive technology, or how they navigate the web — to be able to use proscris.com and Proscris Workbench effectively. Accessibility is treated as a first-class requirement during design and development, not an afterthought bolted on before launch.
2. Applicable Legal Standard
Proscris LLC is based in New York. Our accessibility practices are informed by several overlapping legal frameworks:
| Law | Relevance |
|---|---|
| New York State Human Rights Law (Executive Law Art. 15) | Prohibits discrimination in places of public accommodation. New York courts have held that this can extend to commercial websites and digital services. |
| New York City Human Rights Law (NYC Admin. Code Title 8) | NYC's law is interpreted more broadly than its state and federal counterparts and has been applied to websites offering goods and services to NYC residents. |
| Americans with Disabilities Act, Title III | Federal law prohibiting disability discrimination by places of public accommodation; courts remain divided nationally on the precise scope of its application to websites. |
Because New York's laws are, in relevant respects, broader and more directly applicable to a New York-based online business than the ADA alone, we have adopted WCAG 2.2 Level AA as our conformance target, which is widely recognized by New York and New York City courts and regulators as an appropriate technical standard for evaluating digital accessibility.
3. Conformance Status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 define requirements for making web content more accessible. Our published pages, including proscris.com and the Proscris Workbench extension's own interface (the sidebar, side panel, and full-page views), are designed and built to conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA.
This statement is a self-assessment. We have not yet commissioned a third-party audit or formal VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template). We consider our conformance status "partially conformant": we believe most of the site and extension meets Level AA, with a small number of known exceptions listed below.
4. Measures We've Taken
Semantic HTML
Proper landmarks (header, nav, main, footer), logical heading order, and native controls rather than div-based fakes.
Keyboard operability
Every interactive element is reachable and operable by keyboard alone, including custom tab and accordion widgets, following the WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices.
Visible focus indicators
A thick, high-contrast focus ring on every focusable element (SC 2.4.7, 2.4.11, 2.4.13).
Skip links
A "Skip to main content" link on every page (SC 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks).
Color contrast
Text meets at least 4.5:1 contrast (3:1 for large text) against its background (SC 1.4.3, 1.4.11).
Reduced motion
Animations and smooth-scroll are disabled for users with prefers-reduced-motion set (SC 2.3.3).
Target size
Interactive controls meet a minimum 24×24px target, with most controls at 44×44px or larger (SC 2.5.8).
Text resizing & reflow
Content remains usable and readable when zoomed to 200% or reflowed to a 320px viewport (SC 1.4.4, 1.4.10).
Screen reader support
ARIA labeling on icon-only controls, accurate alt text on meaningful images, and decorative icons hidden from assistive technology.
5. Known Limitations
Despite our efforts, some areas are not yet fully conformant. We are actively working on all of the following:
- Pre-recorded video on our marketing pages may not yet include synchronized captions or a transcript in every case (SC 1.2.2). We are adding these as new video content is produced.
- Some data-dense views inside the extension (for example, the SEO inspector's schema tree and the file explorer's grid view) rely on visual density that may be challenging at high zoom levels; a simplified list view is on our roadmap.
- Third-party icon fonts and embedded widgets (see Section 6) are outside our direct control.
6. Third-Party & User-Generated Content
Proscris Workbench injects a sidebar and toolbar UI onto websites you visit. We are responsible for the accessibility of that injected interface, but we cannot guarantee or control the accessibility of the underlying third-party websites themselves, nor of any AI provider's own web interface that you may separately navigate to.
Content generated by AI models in response to your prompts is not authored or reviewed by us and may not always be presented in an ideal format for assistive technology; where possible, our chat interface renders such output as semantic HTML rather than plain text.
7. Technical Specifications
Accessibility of proscris.com and Proscris Workbench relies on the following technologies:
- HTML5
- WAI-ARIA
- CSS
- JavaScript (progressive enhancement — core content remains available without it)
These technologies are relied upon for conformance with the accessibility standards used.
8. Assessment Approach
Proscris assessed the accessibility of this site and extension through internal self-evaluation, including automated scanning tools, manual keyboard-only testing, and screen reader spot-checks. This is an ongoing process rather than a one-time audit; this statement is reviewed and updated at least annually or whenever a significant redesign occurs.
9. Feedback & Reporting an Issue
We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of proscris.com and Proscris Workbench. If you encounter an accessibility barrier, please let us know:
- By email: accessibility@proscris.com
- By visiting: proscris.com/contact
We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within 5 business days and to provide a plan for remediation of confirmed issues within 30 days where reasonably practicable. We ask that you contact us directly with any concern before pursuing other action, so we have a fair opportunity to address it promptly.
10. Formal Complaints
If you are not satisfied with our response to an accessibility concern:
- New York State: complaints under the New York State Human Rights Law may be filed with the New York State Division of Human Rights.
- New York City: complaints under the New York City Human Rights Law may be filed with the NYC Commission on Human Rights.
- Federal: complaints under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act may be directed to the U.S. Department of Justice.
We would strongly prefer the opportunity to resolve any concern directly and promptly — please use the contact details in Section 9 first.
