1 Our Commitment

Proscris LLC is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards.

2 Conformance Status

OpenMat is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. We are actively working to address all known issues.

Current accessibility features implemented:

• Skip navigation link on all app pages.
• All interactive elements have descriptive ARIA labels.
• Keyboard navigation support throughout the app.
• Focus-visible styles on all focusable elements (3px solid accent color).
• Minimum touch target size of 44×44px on all buttons.
• Color contrast ratios meeting WCAG AA requirements for all text.
• Semantic HTML with proper heading hierarchy (h1 → h2 → h3).
• All images have descriptive alt text or aria-hidden for decorative images.
• ARIA live regions for toast notifications and dynamic content.
• Form labels explicitly associated with all inputs.
• Dark mode with appropriate contrast ratios in both themes.
• No auto-playing media or animations that can't be paused.
• Screen reader compatible navigation and page structure.

3 Known Limitations

We are aware of the following areas being actively improved:

• Some complex data tables may need additional ARIA descriptions for screen reader users.
• The Beacon map feature may have reduced keyboard navigability — a text-based alternative is in development.
• Some animation-heavy transitions may affect users with vestibular disorders — a reduced motion setting is planned.

4 Technical Specifications

OpenMat is built with the following technologies that support accessibility:

• HTML5 semantic elements.
• CSS (custom properties, responsive design with rem units).
• JavaScript (keyboard event handling, focus management).
• WAI-ARIA 1.2 roles, states, and properties.
• Progressive Web App (PWA) with full offline support.

• United States: US Department of Justice Civil Rights Division
• European Union: Your national disability rights authority

1 Physical Activity & Health

• OpenMat provides training tracking tools and educational content only. We are not a licensed medical provider, personal trainer, or sports medicine professional.
• Nothing on this platform constitutes medical advice, fitness advice, or a guarantee of any health outcome.
• Always consult a physician before beginning any new exercise program.
• Always train under the supervision of a qualified, licensed instructor.
• OpenMat is not liable for any injury, illness, death, or property damage arising from training activities.

2 Training Information Accuracy

• Technique descriptions, belt requirements, and training guides are provided for general informational purposes only.
• Martial arts standards vary between academies, instructors, and governing bodies. Information on this platform may not reflect your specific academy's requirements.
• The Belt Estimator tool provides estimates only based on general data — it is not a guarantee of promotion or official assessment.
• XP and rank progression in the app are gamification elements and do not replace formal belt promotions by qualified instructors.

3 AI Coaching (Sensei AI)

• Sensei AI responses are generated by AI and may contain errors or outdated information.
• Never follow AI training advice without validating it with your coach or instructor.
• Sensei AI is not qualified to provide medical, legal, or professional advice of any kind.

5 No Endorsement of Academies

Listing an academy on OpenMat does not constitute endorsement of that academy, its instructors, or its teaching methods. Conduct your own due diligence before joining any martial arts school.

6 Affiliate & Partnership Disclosures

OpenMat may have sponsorship or partnership relationships with martial arts brands, equipment companies, or events. Where applicable, sponsored content will be clearly labeled as such. We only promote products and partners we believe provide genuine value to our community.

2 Legal Bases for Processing

Under GDPR Article 6, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

3 International Data Transfers

As a US-based company, your data is transferred to and processed in the United States, which may not have the same level of data protection as the EU/EEA.

We protect these transfers using:

• Data Processing Agreements: In place with all sub-processors (Stripe, n8n, hosting providers).

You may request a copy of the SCCs we use by emailing legal@openmat.ai.

4 Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

5 Your California Privacy Rights

6 Authorized Agents

You may designate an authorized agent to make a CCPA request on your behalf. Authorized agents must provide proof of your written permission and may be required to verify their own identity. Contact privacy@openmat.ai with subject "CCPA Authorized Agent Request" and include both your identity verification and the agent's authorization documentation.

7 Shine the Light

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 ("Shine the Light") permits California residents to request certain information about our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for direct marketing purposes. If you have questions, email privacy@openmat.ai.

8 Do Not Track

California law requires us to disclose how we respond to "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. Currently, OpenMat does not alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals because there is no universally accepted standard for what constitutes a DNT signal. We do not sell your data regardless of DNT status.
