Accessibility Statement
1. General
GLOAT Records is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensuring our website, https://gloatrecords.com, is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.
2. Conformance Status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.
GLOAT Records is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard, primarily due to the high volume of complex audio-visual media generated by AI.
3. Measures to Support Accessibility
GLOAT Records takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of our Site:
-
Lyric Availability: We strive to provide lyrics for our songs either directly on the page, within the video captions, or via links to platforms (like Spotify/YouTube) where lyrics are synchronized.
-
Keyboard Navigation: We aim to ensure our website structure allows for navigation via keyboard interfaces.
-
Alt Text: We endeavor to provide alternative text for non-text content (images and AI-generated visuals) where appropriate.
4. Known Limitations
Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of the Site, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations and potential solutions. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below.
-
AI-Generated Visuals: Some AI-generated images and animations may lack detailed text descriptions (alt text) due to the rapid pace of content generation. We are working to improve our metadata workflows.
-
Music Videos: While we aim for full captioning, some music videos embedded from third-party platforms (like YouTube) may rely on auto-generated captions which can occasionally be inaccurate.
-
Audio Players: Third-party audio widgets (such as Spotify embeds) are controlled by external providers, and we have limited control over their native accessibility features.
