Accessibility statement.

WCAG 2.1 Level AA, measured against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines published by the W3C.

HowlVault is built by a small team of software engineers who hunt. We treat accessibility as a compliance bar, not a marketing bullet — every page on howlvault.com and every screen inside the signed-in vault targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance.

Practically, that means: color contrast of at least 4.5:1 for body text, visible keyboard focus on every interactive element, semantic HTML landmarks, labeled form inputs, accurate alt text on content images, and respect for the operating system’s prefers-reduced-motion preference.

Automated checks plus manual testing with a keyboard and a screen reader on every release.

Our marketing site and web app are built with Next.js and React. We run eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y in CI to catch common issues at build time, and we spot-check with the axe browser extension before shipping meaningful UI changes.

We test every interactive element with a keyboard (no mouse, no trackpad) and with VoiceOver on macOS. When we find a gap, we fix it before the release ships, or we note it below.

A short list of things we know aren’t perfect yet. If you hit one, email us so we can prioritize it.

As of the effective date above, we are not aware of any blocking WCAG 2.1 AA violations on the marketing site. The signed-in vault is under active development and we’re still working through a backlog of keyboard-focus polish on some of the drag-and-drop surfaces.

Audio previews in the vault depend on the browser’s native audio controls, which carry each browser’s own accessibility behavior. We do not currently ship a custom player.

Email support@howlvault.com. Put “accessibility” in the subject. We read every message.

If any part of HowlVault is hard or impossible to use with your assistive technology, we want to hear about it. Email support@howlvault.com with the page URL, what you were trying to do, the assistive technology you were using (screen reader, magnifier, switch-control, etc.), and what went wrong.

A real person at Apex Global LLC will acknowledge your report within one business day and give you a timeline for a fix or a workaround.
