Everyone has the right to submit a request to provide digital accessibility of a website, mobile app or any element thereof. It is also possible to request to provide information in alternative forms, e.g. reading a digitally inaccessible document, describing the content of a video without audio description, etc. The request should contain the details of a person submitting the request, an indication to which website or mobile application it refers and the method of contact. If a person submitting the request reports a need to receive the information in an alternative form, they should also determine the form of this information.
A public entity should implement the request immediately and no later than within 7 days. If it is not possible to meet this deadline, the public entity should immediately inform when it is possible to implement the request, but this period may not be longer than 2 months.

Where the entity refuses to implement the request to provide accessibility or alternative access to information, a complaint may be submitted against such action.
Once all possibilities are exhausted, it is also possible to send the complaint to the Commissioner for Human Rights.
