Accessibility Limitations
It is important for us to note that despite our efforts to make all pages on the site accessible, parts of the site that are not yet accessible may be discovered.
We are working to continue to improve the accessibility of the site as part of our commitment to enable its use for the entire population, including people with disabilities.
If you encounter content that is not accessible on the site, you are welcome to contact us, and we will be happy to act to improve the accessibility of the site.
"Accessible Site" character:
The Israeli Badge for Accessible Websites is a joint initiative of the Israel Internet Association and Access Israel.
The purpose of placing the seal on the site is to promote public awareness of Internet accessibility and to inform people with disabilities browsing the site about its accessibility. Below is the seal indicating the accessibility of Pointer's website placed at the top of the home page of our site.

App accessibility
general
THE COMPANY'S ACCESSIBILITY ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ISRAELI STANDARD (SI 5568) FOR WEB CONTENT ACCESSIBILITY AT AA LEVEL AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNATIONAL WCAG 2.0 DOCUMENT. WHERE THE STANDARD DID NOT FIT, ACCESSIBILITY ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE ACCORDING TO THE ACCESSIBILITY CAPABILITIES OF THE OPERATING SYSTEMS.
Operating Systems
The company's apps have been tested on Android – tests are performed on a Pixel 6 device.
Mode of use
The tests were performed with a TalkBack screen reader.
You can browse using swipe gestures to transfer focus from component to component or via "Touch By Explore" – swipe over the elements on the screen and activate them.
It is recommended to enable the "Automatic scrolling in lists" option. Where possible, familiar components such as: checkbox, list, titles, etc. have been defined. These components can be navigated by using the device's selector by using a local menu on Android devices.
Acceptable gestures can be used depending on the operating system. For example, "inverted L" to go back.
We will be happy to answer any questions and receive any comments. Therefore, in any case of requesting information and suggestions for improvement on the subject of accessibility, you can contact the person responsible for website accessibility:
