Duty Free US/Canada
Accessibility Statement
Last Updated: December 22, 2024
Our Commitment
Duty Free US/Canada is designed to be accessible to everyone. We follow Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and support iOS accessibility features to ensure all users can track purchases and prepare customs declarations effectively.
Supported Accessibility Features
1. VoiceOver
Full Support: All interactive elements include descriptive labels and hints. Purchase items, warnings, and navigation are fully accessible. For example, adding a purchase is announced with clear context about the item, price, and any associated warnings.
2. Dynamic Type
Full Support: Text scales automatically to match your preferred reading size, from extra small to accessibility sizes. All screens remain fully functional at the largest text size, including purchase lists and declaration summaries.
3. Reduce Transparency
Full Support: When Reduce Transparency is enabled, glass effects are replaced with solid colors for better readability while maintaining visual clarity.
4. Reduce Motion
Full Support: When Reduce Motion is enabled, animations and transitions are simplified or removed. The app respects your system preference throughout.
5. Dark Mode
Full Support: Automatic support for Light and Dark appearance modes. All colors, warnings, and status indicators adapt seamlessly to your preference.
6. Increase Contrast
Full Support: All text and UI elements meet WCAG AA contrast standards. Warning colors and status indicators provide increased contrast when this setting is enabled.
7. Voice Control
Full Support: Navigate and control the entire app using only your voice. All interactive elements have descriptive labels and meet Apple's minimum 44x44 point touch target size.
Design Considerations
Touch Targets
All interactive elements meet the minimum 44x44 point touch target size for reliable selection via touch, pointer, or voice control.
Color Independence
Information is never conveyed by color alone. Warnings and status indicators use icons, labels, and position in addition to color. For example, NEXUS warnings include warning icons and descriptive text, not just color changes.
Warning Clarity
The app uses multiple levels of warnings (Notice, Warning, Critical). Each level is distinguished by icon, color, and descriptive text to ensure all users understand the severity and implications.
Haptic Feedback
Haptic feedback accompanies key actions like adding purchases and acknowledging warnings, providing confirmation for users who may not see visual changes immediately.
Features Not Applicable
Audio Descriptions
Not applicable: Duty Free does not contain video content requiring audio descriptions.
Captions
Not applicable: The app does not include audio or video content requiring captions.
Quality Assurance
Our accessibility implementation is backed by:
- Manual testing with VoiceOver and other assistive technologies
- Verification at all Dynamic Type sizes
- Testing with Reduce Transparency and Reduce Motion enabled
- Compliance with Apple's Human Interface Guidelines
- Ongoing commitment to accessibility improvements
