VPAT(S) and Accessibility Statement request
Please evaluate the Goodnotes app for accessibility and provide VPAT(S) and an. Accessibility Statement with your security and privacy options. VPAT version of the template should be 2.4 or higher (itic.org/policy/accessibility/vpat) and use the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 AA (w3.org/TR/WCAG21/)or higher standards.
Aside from making your application as accessible as possible to make it inclusive and abide by current laws, it will help you comply with the April 2024 update to the Title II if the ADA (federalregister.gov/documents/2024/04/24/2024-07758/nondiscrimination-on-the-basis-of-disability-accessibility-of-web-information-and-services-of-state#). This new update requires all federal, state, county and city agencies (which includes public institutions) to provide accessible content, websites and applications (including mobile) by either April 2026 or April 2027, depending on their size.
You do have a great app, but it needs many accessibility improvements. One, for example, is exporting accessible (tagged) PDFs and offer a writing to text option.
Thank you,
