Accessibility statement

Last reviewed 2026-09-26. This statement is informational and is not legal advice.

Peekghost is operated by Peekghost. We want the site to be usable by everyone, including people who use screen readers, keyboards, switch devices, magnification or voice control. This page says honestly where we are, not where we would like to be.

Our target

We aim for WCAG 2.1 level AA, and for the requirements of Israeli Standard SI 5568 (based on WCAG 2.0 level AA) that apply under Israel's Equal Rights of Persons with Disabilities (Service Accessibility Adjustments) Regulations. We also work towards the accessibility requirements of the European Accessibility Act and the expectations of US accessibility law (ADA).

We do not claim that the site is fully compliant. We have not had an independent conformance audit. The review described below is our own, and it does not cover every page in every one of the 30 interface languages.

How we review

• Automated checks with axe-core on the main pages, the tool pages and the accessibility options panel, at desktop and phone widths, in left-to-right and right-to-left layouts.
• Keyboard-only walkthroughs of the main journeys, by our own team: look up an account, open a story, use the player, use the watchlist, change consent choices.
• We have not yet carried out a structured test with real screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack). It is planned, and until it is done we cannot promise a good screen-reader experience on every page.
• Written audit notes kept with the source code, re-run whenever the interface changes materially.

Last review: 2026-09-26.

What we have done

• Semantic HTML. Real headings, landmarks, lists, buttons and links; ARIA only where native elements are not enough.
• Keyboard operation. Everything can be used without a mouse. A "Skip to content" link is the first stop, focus is always visible, and dialogs trap focus, close with Escape and return focus to where you were.
• Contrast. Text and controls are designed to meet AA contrast in the light and dark themes, and a stronger high-contrast mode is available in the accessibility options.
• Motion. We respect the "reduce motion" setting of your device, and the accessibility options let you stop animation on the site.
• Text size and layout. The layout is responsive and is intended to work when text is enlarged up to 200 percent, without horizontal scrolling for normal reading.
• Touch targets. Buttons and links are sized for comfortable touch (at least 44 by 44 pixels for the main controls).
• Right-to-left languages. Hebrew, Arabic, Persian and Urdu switch the layout direction.
• Our own text. Interface labels, buttons, errors and images that we create carry text alternatives.

Accessibility options (a helper, not the fix)

A button labelled "Accessibility options" is available on every page. It offers larger text, a high-contrast theme, grayscale, highlighted links, a plain readable font, more line and letter spacing, a pause for animation and a larger cursor. Your choices are stored only in your own browser (local storage), are not sent to us, and use no cookies or third-party scripts.

This panel is an aid. It is not how we meet accessibility requirements: the site itself is built to be accessible without it, and your browser and operating-system settings (zoom, contrast, screen reader, reduced motion) continue to work.

Known limitations

• Stories, highlights, posts and reels are third-party content. They are public material published by Instagram account owners. Most of it has no captions, no audio description, no transcript and no alternative text, and we cannot add them. When the source provides a caption or alt text we show it. We are not able to make a video accessible that the account owner did not.
• User-generated text. Usernames, biographies and captions come from the account owners and may be hard to read, use unusual characters or emoji, or be in a language different from the page.
• The story player advances automatically, like the original. It can be paused, stepped and closed with the keyboard and with on-screen controls, but people who need more time should use the pause control or the list view.
• Machine-translated interface. The interface exists in 30 languages. Apart from the main ones, translations are generated automatically and may contain mistakes or awkward wording. Untranslated strings appear in English.
• Third-party services. Where advertising, consent or analytics tools are enabled, they come from other companies and we do not control their accessibility.
• Downloaded files (images and videos) are the original media and have no accessibility features added.

Ask for an accessible alternative

If something on the site is not usable for you, tell us what you were trying to do and we will try to give you the information another way, for example the text of a caption or the details of a profile in plain form. We cannot promise this for third-party media we do not hold, but we will tell you what we can do.

Report a barrier or give feedback

There is no form: write to us.

Please include the page address, what you were doing, what happened, and the browser, device and assistive technology you use. We aim to reply within 14 days and to tell you what we will do. We record each report and use it to prioritise fixes.

If you are not satisfied

In Israel you may also contact the Commission for Equal Rights of Persons with Disabilities at the Ministry of Justice; see the Commission's official website for how to submit a complaint. If you are in the European Union, you can contact the competent market-surveillance or enforcement body in your country. We will still try to resolve the matter with you first.
