Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

Curiosity Boost 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 help provide equal access to all users. As a California-based business, we also strive to align with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California's Unruh Civil Rights Act as they apply to digital access.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. We aim to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA across our Website.

While we strive to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the Website. We are continually seeking solutions that will bring all areas of the site up to the same level of overall accessibility. This statement reflects our current status and is reviewed regularly.

• Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of functionality;
