Information on the procedure

Everyone has the right to request the digital accessibility of a website, a mobile application or a certain element thereof. You may also request access to information in alternative forms, such as reading a digitally inaccessible document, describing the content of a film without audio description, etc. The request should include the identity of the person making the request, an indication of which website or mobile application is being requested and how they may be contacted. If the requesting person indicates a need to receive the information in an alternative form, they should also specify the form of that information. The public entity should comply with the request immediately and no later than within 7 days. If it is not possible to comply within this time limit, the public body shall inform you without delay when it will be possible to comply with the request, which shall not be more than 2 months. If access cannot be ensured, the public body may propose an alternative means of accessing the information. Where an entity refuses to comply with a request to provide accessibility or alternative access to information, a complaint may be lodged against such action. Once all possibilities have been exhausted, a complaint can also be sent to the Ombudsman.
