Content legibility

Procedure
Every individual has the right to request to provide accessibility of a website or mobile application, or a specific part of either. One can also request access to information in an alternative form, for instance, to have a digitally inaccessible document read out or to have a video without audio description described. The request should include personal information of the person sending a request, an indication of the specific website or mobile application and preferred method of contact. If the person sending a request expresses a need for receiving information in an alternative form, she or he should also specify the form of the given piece of information.
The public entity is obliged to fulfill a request in a period of up to 7 days. If the request cannot be fulfilled in under 7 days, the public entity should provide immediate information on the date of the realization of the request. The date, however, cannot be later than 2 months from the day the request was submitted. If the accessibility request cannot be completed, the public entity may offer an alternative way to access the information.
If the entity refuses to fulfill a request involving accessibility or alternative access to information, the person applying for a request may submit a complaint about improper conduct.
After all means of issue resolution have been exploited, the complaint may be issued at the Ombudsman (Rzecznik Praw Obywatelskich).
