Accessibility Statement in accordance with Section 13 BFSG
This accessibility statement applies to the website accessible at https://www.berlintennisopen.com/, including all subpages and content.
Status of Accessibility
Our website is partially accessible. It partially meets the requirements of the German Accessibility Services Act (Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz – BFSG) and the BFSG Ordinance (BFSG-DV) in the version applicable as of June 28, 2025.
Current State of Implementation
We are currently in a process of continuous optimization. The following measures have already been implemented for you:
- Readability: We have optimized contrasts and font sizes to make the content visually easier to perceive.
- Keyboard Navigation: Essential areas of our website can already be operated directly via the keyboard without using a mouse.
- Image Descriptions: We are constantly working on providing alternative text for images so that they can be correctly captured by screen readers.
- Clear Structure: We use a logical hierarchy of headings to make it easier for you to navigate our pages.
Planned Improvements
As accessibility is an ongoing task, we are currently working on the following points:
- The complete optimization of complex forms and interactive elements.
- The provision of subtitles or transcripts for older video and audio content.
- Further technical refinement of the source code for even better support of assistive technologies.
Further reviews and optimizations of functionality and content with regard to WCAG 2.2 (Level AA) are planned and will be implemented step by step. Our goal is to continuously improve accessibility. In the long term, we aim to provide the website with all central functions being fully accessible.
