1. Our Commitment to Accessibility

Daria Sikora ("we", "us", or "our") 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 ensure we provide equal access to all of our users.

2. Conformance Status

We are actively working to achieve and maintain full WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance. While we strive for full compliance, we acknowledge that some content may not yet meet all accessibility standards. We are committed to addressing these issues and improving accessibility on an ongoing basis.
