5. Accessibility statement<\/b><\/h2><\/header>[vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text css=””]5.1 – ePUBoo is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.<\/p>\n

5.2 – 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.<\/p>\n

5.3 – ePUBoo is making constant efforts to improve the accessibility of its site and services in the belief that it is our collective moral obligation to allow seamless, accessible, and unhindered use for those of us with disabilities. We aim to make all pages and content on epuboo.com accessible, but some content may not yet fully meet the highest accessibility standards. This could be due to challenges in identifying the most suitable technological solution. We may revise this Statement periodically to reflect improvements or changes to our accessibility practices.<\/p>\n

5.4 – Feedback: we welcome your feedback on the accessibility of ePUBoo website. Please let us know if you encounter accessibility barriers on our website:
\nE-mail: email@epuboo.com
\nWe try to respond to feedback within 1 business day.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1716562434488{padding-top: -50px !important;background-color: #c7e0bc !important;}”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”]

6. Artificial Intelligence<\/b><\/h2><\/header>[vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text css=””]6.1 \u2013 The control panel \u221ePanel is able to automatically generate the ‘alt-texts’ (alternative descriptions for accessible ebooks) of the images in an ebook created by the Manager. The system interfaces with an API of a partner company.<\/p>\n

6.2 \u2013 The partner company that provides the alt-texts does not store or retain any image (the Manager does it temporarily for three months). The partner company\u2019s library consists of the original ‘image URLs’, the alt-texts generated by AI and metadata that the Manager provides them. All image data is deleted by the Manager three months after the ebook is delivered.<\/p>\n

6.3 \u2013 The partner company is not a content distribution network (CDN) and is not a digital asset management (DAM) system. The Manager needs to store image files for the partner company which is just a service to generate alt-texts for those images.<\/p>\n

6.4 \u2013 The generated alt-texts that the partner company provides to the Manager are for the exclusive use of the Manager for three months. The partner company does not use any alt-text of the Manager, ever. The image data that the Manager uploads to the partner company\u2019s servers is stored only temporarily to be used for alt-text generation. Once processed, all data from the uploaded images is destroyed.<\/p>\n

6.5 \u2013 To ensure copyright protection, ePUBoo applies the default exclusion of TDM from distributed items. Text & Data Mining (TDM) is an automated process of analysing digital content, often used by Artificial Intelligence. If you want to allow TDM for some titles, you can change this setting but you must let us know by opening a support ticket from your control panel.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1603799715633{padding-top: -50px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”]
