WEB 3.0

Compliance - Privacy - Security

Web 3.0 refers to the next evolution of the World Wide Web, known as the “Semantic Web” as it aims to make the web more meaningful and understandable by computers.  The key feature of Web 3.0 is the use of advanced technologies, including Ai, which allows for greater security, privacy, and control of data while creating a more interactive and personalized and accessible web experience. 

What You Need And Why You Need It

Accessibility

Website accessibility options are required by The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to ensure that users with disabilities can access and use the website’s content and functionality.  Guidelines provide standards for website design and development, including things like text size and color contrast, navigation and screen reader abilities.

Security

Web 3.0 is poised to revolutionize the internet, providing a more secure, transparent, and trustworthy web. However, as we move towards this new era of the internet, it’s important to consider the security challenges and opportunities. With a new set of security challenges that need to be addressed to ensure a safe and secure internet it is important to stay up to date with the evolving Web 3.0 security. 

Privacy Policy

Websites need a privacy policy to inform users about what personal information the website collects, how it is used, and how it is protected. Privacy policies also explain users’ rights regarding their personal information, such as their right to access, correct, or delete their data. There are various laws and state regulations that require specific inclusions in your privacy policy. 

 

Accessibilty Compliance at a deeper level

Having accessibility options such as larger text size, a high contrast mode and audio description help users with visual impairments to read the website easily. Providing alternative text descriptions for images and videos, and allowing the website to be navigated using a keyboard, can help users with mobility impairments. Additionally, closed captioning or sign language interpretation can help users with hearing impairments. By making a website accessible to users with disabilities, businesses and organizations can ensure that they are not excluding a significant portion of the population from accessing their services. It is important for websites to be compliant with ADA regulations not only to avoid legal issues, but also to ensure that all users, including those with disabilities, can access and use the website. The laws are evolving as we dive more into WEB3 standards, and we are here to have your online presence accessible and covered.

Know why your privacy policy is important

Privacy laws such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) require websites to have a privacy policy if they collect personal information from users. This policy must be easily accessible and written in clear and simple language that users can understand. Having a privacy policy helps build trust with users and demonstrates the website’s commitment to protecting their personal information.
