Cloud Streaming - Accessibility Conformance – Swank Motion Pictures, Inc.

Last reviewed: March 2025 · Applies to: Cloud Streaming Platform · Target standard: WCAG 2.2 AA / Section 508

Accessibility Statement

Swank Motion Pictures is committed to making our Cloud Streaming platform accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We are actively working toward conformance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA and applicable requirements under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.

In September 2025, we engaged Accessiblü to conduct a comprehensive third-party accessibility audit of the platform. The findings are documented in our Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) — also referred to as an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) — and are actively guiding our remediation work.

We recognize that full conformance is a journey. Our roadmap reflects a structured, prioritized approach to closing identified gaps — with a focus on the areas that most directly affect users with disabilities. We expect the core student and general user experience to meet our conformance targets with our April 2026 release. Accessibility improvements to advanced instructor and administrator workflows will follow through the remainder of 2026.

Regulatory context: Many of our customers — including K-12 institutions, colleges and universities, and healthcare facilities — are subject to WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements under 28 CFR § 35.200, effective April 24, 2026. Our remediation timeline is aligned to support our customers in meeting those obligations.

Captions, Subtitles & Audio Description

Caption, subtitle, and Audio Description availability is dependent on assets provided by our studio partners. We are actively working to expand coverage across our catalog.

Films with closed captions are indicated by the standard "CC" icon on both the watch page and title preview. If captions are required for a specific title that does not show the CC indicator, please contact your Swank representative — a fully captioned catalog is available upon request.

Captions and audio options can be accessed by clicking the captions/settings icon in the bottom right of the player. This will display an Audio dropdown and a Subtitles (CC) dropdown where you can select your preferred options.

Audio Description (AD) tracks provide a narrated description of on-screen action for users who are blind or have low vision. Where available, Audio Description can be selected from the Audio dropdown in the player — look for the option labeled "English (United States) - Audio Description".

Coming Soon: We are actively expanding Audio Description availability across our catalog in collaboration with our studio partners. Additional improvements — including Audio Description indicators on title pages — are planned for 2026.
