Accessibility Statement (Beta)

VinylCast 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 to our platform.

1. Conformance status

This website is currently in a closed private beta phase. We are working toward full compliance with the following international standards:

  • WCAG 2.1 Level AA (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines)
  • EN 301 549 (European Standard)
  • ADA Title III (Americans with Disabilities Act)
  • Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (US)

At this stage of development, the platform is partially conformant. We are using this beta period to identify and resolve accessibility gaps before our public launch.

2. Known limitations (beta phase)

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility, some parts of the beta interface may not yet fully conform to the standards above. Known limitations include:

  • Keyboard navigation: Some interactive elements may not be fully reachable via keyboard.
  • Screen readers: Certain dynamic labels and ARIA attributes are currently being optimized.
  • Color contrast: Some UI components may have temporary contrast ratios below 4.5:1.
  • Legacy documents: Some PDF or technical exports may not yet be fully tagged.

3. Technical specifications

Accessibility of VinylCast relies on the following technologies to work with the particular combination of web browser and any assistive technologies or plugins installed on your computer:

HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and WAI-ARIA.

4. Feedback and contact information

We welcome your feedback. If you encounter any accessibility barriers while testing our beta, please let us know so we can prioritize a fix:

Email: contact (at) vinylcast.fr

Response time: We aim to respond to accessibility inquiries within 2 business days.

5. Formal complaints and redress

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may have the right to contact the relevant enforcement body in your jurisdiction:

  • In the US: The Department of Justice (DOJ) or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
  • In the EU: Your national monitoring body (for example, Le Défenseur des droits in France).

VinylCast — The Real Stories Behind the Records You Love

Direct answer: VinylCast reveals the real stories behind famous records through short podcast-style episodes. Each story is crafted from trusted research and human editorial review to explain creative choices, recording accidents, and cultural legacy in plain English.

Every record has a story: discover the legends and secrets behind the music you love in an exclusive podcast. The experience combines search and library workflows (for signed-in beta users) with public pages that explain how episodes are produced, who stands behind the voice, and how to browse by Top 100 selection or genre hubs.

We do not expose user-generated podcast URLs in the public SEO sitemap: monetisation stays in the authenticated app. Flagship editorial URLs (home, conversion, legal, public guides, Top 100 hub) are published in waves to protect crawl budget on a new domain.

For evidence-first editorial pages, start from the Studio Accidents hub, then open the linked verified anecdote pages.

The interactive app requires JavaScript. If JS is disabled, use the links above for static editorial content or enable JavaScript for the full product.
