We are committed to supporting all our customers and end users

We constantly strive to improve our products and services. Accessibility is at the heart of our designs and decisions; we consider the many ways that people can use and interact with our software and websites.

At Glean we take the following measures to ensure accessibility of our products and services:

  • Include accessibility in our internal policies.
  • Assign clear accessibility goals and responsibilities.
  • Use formal accessibility quality assurance methods.

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.

Glean’s products and services are partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some aspects of the content don't fully comply with the accessibility standard.

Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act sets requirements for accessibility of electronic and information technology developed, procured, maintained, or used by US federal agencies. It aims to ensure that federal technology is accessible to people with disabilities.

Glean's products and services are not required to conform to Section 508 as we are not a US federal agency. However, we utilise Section 508 as guidance to make our products more accessible to users with disabilities.

We have committed to remediating all WCAG AA issues by 2025 and becoming fully WCAG conformant. Check our remediation plan to see how we're doing.

Compatibility with browsers and assistive technology

Glean products and services are designed to be accessible and compatible with assistive technologies.
