<p>Lumen ARIA Blocks helps you publish interactive content that stays usable for keyboard and assistive technology users, while remaining practical for editorial teams in Gutenberg.</p>
<p>Why teams use Lumen ARIA Blocks:</p>
<ul>
<li>Better accessibility defaults out of the box (roles, states, keyboard behavior, focus handling).</li>
<li>SSR-first output for robust rendering and content continuity.</li>
<li>Theme-agnostic integration (works with any WordPress theme).</li>
<li>Privacy-friendly runtime (no telemetry, no tracking scripts).</li>
</ul>
<p>How it works:</p>
<ul>
<li>SSR-first dynamic blocks (content remains server-rendered).</li>
<li>Progressive enhancement with block-specific frontend scripts, enqueued only when the related block is rendered.</li>
<li>Runtime assets are served from your own WordPress site.</li>
<li>No third-party runtime libraries are bundled in this release.</li>
</ul>
<p>Available blocks in this release:</p>
<ul>
<li>Accordion</li>
<li>Button (action/link/toggle)</li>
<li>Carousel</li>
<li>Dialog</li>
<li>Popup</li>
<li>Tabs</li>
<li>Tooltip</li>
</ul>
<p>This plugin is designed to work across themes and does not require coupling to a specific theme implementation.</p>

<h4>Privacy</h4>
<p>AccessMate makes no external requests unless you configure an AI provider and trigger an AI action.

The API key is encrypted at rest using AES-256-CBC with your WordPress auth salt.</p>
<h3>Third Party Libraries</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core" rel="nofollow ugc">axe-core</a> by Deque Systems — Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL-2.0)</li>
<li><a href="https://fontsource.org/fonts/opendyslexic" rel="nofollow ugc">OpenDyslexic font via Fontsource</a> — Bitstream Vera Fonts License — loaded on demand from jsDelivr CDN only when the dyslexia font feature is enabled by the visitor</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin can connect to the following external services. No external requests are made unless you explicitly configure and trigger the relevant feature.</p>
<h4>AI providers (optional)</h4>
<p>When you add an API key and click an AI action (auto-fix suggestion, alt-text generation, or accessibility report summary), your WordPress server sends a direct HTTPS request to your chosen AI provider. The request contains the page HTML snippet and accessibility issue context being analysed. No data passes through AccessMate servers. These requests are only sent when you have entered an API key in Settings and manually trigger an AI action.</p>
<p><strong>Anthropic</strong> — <code>https://api.anthropic.com/</code><br />
Used for: AI fix suggestions, alt-text generation, accessibility report summaries.<br />
Data sent: page HTML snippet, accessibility issue context, and your Anthropic API key (in the request header).<br />
<a href="https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a> | <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a></p>
<p><strong>OpenAI</strong> — <code>https://api.openai.com/</code><br />
Used for: AI fix suggestions, alt-text generation, accessibility report summaries.<br />
Data sent: page HTML snippet, accessibility issue context, and your OpenAI API key (in the request header).<br />

<p><strong>Google Gemini</strong> — <code>https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/</code><br />
Used for: AI fix suggestions, alt-text generation, accessibility report summaries.<br />
Data sent: page HTML snippet, accessibility issue context, and your Gemini API key (as a URL parameter).<br />

<p><strong>Ollama</strong> — <code>http://localhost:11434/</code> (local only)<br />
Ollama runs entirely on the user’s own machine or local network. No data is sent to any external server.</p>
<h4>jsDelivr CDN (visitor-facing, on demand)</h4>
<p>When a site visitor enables the <strong>Dyslexia Font</strong> feature in the accessibility toolbar, their browser loads the OpenDyslexic font stylesheet from jsDelivr. This is a standard browser-initiated HTTP request that includes the visitor’s IP address and User-Agent string. The font is cached locally after the first load; no further requests are made on subsequent pages. This request is triggered only by the visitor explicitly toggling the dyslexia font feature — it is never loaded automatically.</p>
<p><strong>jsDelivr</strong> — <code>https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/</code><br />
