NutriRoot Accessibility Statement

1. Our Commitment

Aevum Dynamics is committed to making NutriRoot accessible to the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities. We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, as applied to mobile applications, and to meet our obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and comparable laws.

2. Measures We Take

• Screen readers: the App is built with React Native accessibility APIs and is intended to work with Apple VoiceOver (iOS) and Android TalkBack. Interactive controls carry accessibility labels, roles, and hints; decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
• Touch targets: interactive elements target a minimum touch area of 44×44 points, with expanded hit areas on small controls.
• Color and contrast: light and dark themes are designed for WCAG AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text and UI components). Information is not conveyed by color alone — charts and status indicators pair color with text, icons, or position.
• Dynamic type: text respects the operating system's font-size settings where feasible, and layouts reflow rather than truncate.
• Motion: decorative animations (e.g., the growth-tree wind animation) are non-essential; we honor the OS "reduce motion" preference where supported.
• Non-visual alternatives: barcode scanning, photo-based AI logging, text search, and manual entry provide multiple independent ways to log food, so no single sensory modality is required.
• Forms and errors: input fields have visible labels and programmatic names; validation errors are announced in text, not color alone.
• Disclosures as text: data-source citations (the Sources section at the bottom of the Daily page), score explanations, and health disclaimers are provided as plain text readable by assistive technology.
• Testing: accessibility is reviewed with VoiceOver and TalkBack as part of release testing.

3. Known Limitations

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. Current known limitations include:

• Complex data visualizations (nutrient charts, the progress tree, the plant garden) may not yet expose full equivalents to screen readers; the underlying numbers are available in text elsewhere in the App.
• Camera-based features (barcode scan, AI photo scan, label OCR) inherently require camera aim; fully equivalent non-camera paths (search and manual entry) are always available.
• Some third-party components (payment sheets, OS permission dialogs) are controlled by Apple, Google, or other vendors and follow their accessibility implementations.

We are actively working to address these limitations in future releases.

4. Compatibility

NutriRoot is designed to be compatible with:

• iOS: VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, Increase Contrast
• Android: TalkBack, system font scaling, remove-animations setting

The App performs best on the two most recent major versions of iOS and Android.

5. Feedback and Accommodation Requests

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of NutriRoot. If you encounter an accessibility barrier, need content in an alternative format, or require assistance with any feature (including account deletion or data requests), contact us:

• Email: aevumdynamics@gmail.com
• Subject line suggestion: "Accessibility"

We aim to respond within 5 business days and to remediate verified barriers in a timely manner, prioritized by severity.

6. Enforcement and Formal Complaints

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division (ada.gov) or your local disability-rights authority.
