Digital Compliance

Making sure your business follows all required laws for accessibility and privacy

AODA Certified Developer

What sits under Digital Compliance

Two lanes, one audit, one report. Start with both, or with the one that applies to you.

Every business website has to get two things right by law. People have to be able to use it, and it has to be honest about what it collects. Those sound like two separate problems. They get checked the same way, by the same person, in the same pass over your site. That is what Digital Compliance means here.

Lane 1

Accessibility

Can everyone actually use your site?

We test with a keyboard, a screen reader, and the automated tools, then fix the real code. No overlay widgets, and every fix is documented so you have proof of the work.

Rules in play

Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. The Ontario law that sets the accessibility standard for websites here. The website standard applies to the public sector and to organizations with 50 or more employees.Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, version 2.0, Level AA. The technical standard AODA points at, and the level it expects websites to meet. That is 38 criteria, 25 at Level A and 13 at Level AA.Americans with Disabilities Act. It reaches you if you serve customers in the United States, and it has no company size exemption.European Accessibility Act. In force since 28 June 2025 for businesses selling products or services into the European Union. It is an accessibility law and it says nothing about consent or tracking.

Who it applies to: Ontario organizations once they reach the employee count AODA sets, and anyone selling to customers in the United States or Europe.

Lane 2

Privacy and Tracking

What is your site collecting, and did the visitor agree?

We record what fires before anyone clicks accept, inventory your cookies and pixels, check that the privacy policy is actually yours, and put a consent setup in place that really holds the tags back.

Rules in play

Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act. Canada's federal privacy law. It has no company size exemption, and it does not require a cookie banner.Quebec's privacy law. Stricter than PIPEDA, and it expects technology that profiles, locates or identifies a person to sit off until a visitor turns it on.The Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act. Tabled 15 June 2026 and still before Parliament at second reading. It is a bill, not a law. If it passes it replaces the private sector half of PIPEDA.General Data Protection Regulation, the European privacy law. Together with the ePrivacy rules it expects consent before your tags fire, not after. That is the European position, not the Canadian one.

Who it applies to: every business running analytics or an ad pixel. Privacy law has no employee count to hide behind.

You may not be exposed on both lanes

Ontario accessibility law keys off how many people you employ. Privacy law does not. A small shop running Google Analytics can sit outside the accessibility rule and still be squarely inside the privacy one. We work out which lane actually applies to you before we quote anything, and we say so plainly if the answer is only one of them.

Legal sign-off on your situation

I don't know which lane applies to me

Plenty of businesses are covered by one of these and not the other, and almost nobody is told which. Tell us a bit about your size and where your customers are and we'll work it out with you. We also keep the whole list of rules on one page, with the thresholds, so you can check it yourself first. Ask us

Accessibility Statement

A published page describing your site's accessibility and how visitors can get help, which is an AODA good practice.

Accessibility Policy

The written policy AODA requires, setting out your commitment to accessibility and how you meet it.

Multi-Year Accessibility Plan

The plan AODA asks organizations to prepare and post, outlining how you'll stay accessible over the years ahead.

PDF & Document Remediation

Fix PDFs and documents so screen readers can read them, a common gap that automated site scans miss entirely.

Privacy Policy That Is Yours

A first-party privacy policy in your own name on your own domain, rather than one your last developer left behind.

Consent Banner Setup

A banner where reject actually rejects, wired so tags hold until someone opts in.

Tracker & Cookie Inventory

A documented list of every cookie, pixel and tag on your site, categorized properly.

Annual Re-Scan

Sites drift and laws move. A recurring check on both lanes keeps you from sliding back.

Why hire us?

SHORT ANSWER

One audit, both lanes, run by an AODA certified developer in Kitchener-Waterloo who then does the fixing.

LONG ANSWER

Most businesses find out about these two gaps separately, usually from two different people, usually in the form of a bill and a worry. That is a strange way to handle it, because both gaps live in the same place. They are in your site's code, your templates, and your tag setup. One person looking at your site can find both in one pass.

So we run it as one engagement. Same audit tool, same evidence, same report format, same four steps. You get one plain-language document covering what fails, which rule it touches, and what it takes to fix, instead of two half-answers that do not talk to each other.

Show More

The two lanes cover different people, and that is the point. Accessibility is about whether a person can use your site at all. Privacy is about whether your site is honest with that person about what it takes from them. Getting one right and the other wrong still leaves you exposed, and it still leaves someone shut out or surprised.

They also bite different businesses. Ontario accessibility law keys off the size of your organization. Privacy law does not care how many people you employ, so a two-person shop running Google Analytics is inside it. Selling into the United States or Europe pulls accessibility back in regardless of size. Part of what the first look does is tell you which of those is actually true for you.

To be clear about what we are: we are the people who find and fix the technical gaps, and who document the work so you have proof of it. We are not lawyers, and we do not issue legal rulings on your specific situation. When something needs a legal opinion, we say so and point you at someone who does that for a living.

How we work

The same four steps run both lanes, which is why one engagement can cover accessibility, privacy, or both
