3. Compliance status

This website is partially accessible. The following content is not accessible:

• Alt texts for images: Not all images have alternative texts (alt texts). This particularly concerns event photos, as maintaining these texts would require disproportionate effort, and the image content (e.g. participant photos or abstract teaser images) does not provide significant added value. For images without alt texts, we are happy to provide a text-based description upon request.
• No telephone support: The association consists of volunteers who meet during their free time for certain events. Therefore, we are unfortunately unable to offer regular telephone support. Please use email to contact us instead.
• Please note: Not all content is currently available in English. Upon request, we are happy to provide translations of individual pages or documents.

4. Evaluation method

The evaluation was carried out as a self-assessment according to the BITV test. More information can be found at: https://www.bitvtest.de/bitv_test.html.
