ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Effective Date: August 3, 2025

At Second Story Quilting, we believe quilting and the online experience that supports it, should be welcoming and inclusive for everyone. We’re committed to making our website accessible to people of all abilities, and to protecting your privacy in line with Canadian guidelines.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We strive to meet the standards of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, which are considered best practice in Canada and globally.

While Second Story Quilting is a small business and not legally required to follow the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), we aim to build a site that is:

Perceivable (easy to see and read)
Operable (can be used with keyboard navigation or screen readers)
Understandable (clear layout and instructions)
Robust (compatible with assistive technology)

Our website is built on WIX, which supports many accessibility features, including mobile responsiveness, keyboard navigation, and ARIA labels.

Privacy and Data Protection

We follow the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) to keep your information safe.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, contact us, or place an order through Etsy, we:

Collect only the information needed
Use it only for the purposes you've agreed to
Store it securely and never sell or share it
Allow you to unsubscribe or request deletion at any time

You can review our full Privacy Policy for more details.
