1. Purpose and Scope

We want everyone to use shigeshome.com with ease. This statement explains our accessibility approach, the standards we aim for, and how to contact us about barriers.

​

2. Standards We Aim For

We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA. These are internationally recognized guidelines for web accessibility. We review new pages and features with accessibility in mind and work to fix issues we find. Accessibility is an ongoing effort; some areas may still improve over time.

​

3. What We Do Today

• Use semantic HTML and clear headings.

• Support keyboard navigation for menus, links, and forms.

• Provide text alternatives for meaningful images; mark decorative images to be ignored by assistive tech.

• Design for readable contrast and scalable text; respect user motion preferences.

• Add captions/transcripts when we publish media, where feasible.

• Test with a mix of manual checks and automated tools and make iterative fixes.
   

4. Tell Us About a Barrier

If you face an accessibility issue, please tell us:

• Contact form: https://www.shigeshome.com/contact

• Mail: Address above
  Please include the page URL, the issue you saw, and your assistive tech if any. We aim to reply within 5 business days and to provide an update or fix within 10 business days when possible.

6. Privacy Notes (Definitions & Use in This Context)

• “Personal information” means information that identifies or can be linked to a person (for example, name, email, device identifiers).

• “Sensitive personal information” includes categories such as precise location, government IDs, financial or health data.
  Accessibility feedback may include personal information you choose to provide. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information in the feedback form. For full data practices and your privacy rights, see [Request My Data], [Do Not Sell/Share], and our Privacy Policy (linked site-wide).
   

7. Applicability / Non-Applicability (Plain Notes)

• Applies: U.S. ADA Title III and California Unruh Civil Rights Act. We work toward equal access consistent with these laws and the WCAG 2.2 AA benchmark.

• Does not directly apply to this site: U.S. Section 508 (federal agencies) and the EU Web Accessibility Directive (public-sector sites). We still follow WCAG as a best-practice standard.
   

8. Children & Teens

Our site is for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent/guardian and believe a child under 13 provided information, please use [Request My Data] to contact us.
