Accessibility restrictions
Unfortunately, our website is not currently fully accessible. Our company website is aimed exclusively at business customers and public administration and serves to provide information about our company and our product solutions. Due to the clearly business-oriented target group, the complete barrier-free design of this website currently involves a disproportionately high amount of effort for us. However, we are continuously working on improvements.
If you encounter any barriers when visiting our website or need assistance in using it, we will be happy to help. Simply let us know what information or functions you need to be provided in a different format, and we will endeavor to provide you with suitable alternatives (e.g., in accessible formats).
Regardless of this, the consumer-oriented product websites of Publ°k GmbH, such as https://www.socialcard.de, where consumers and business customers can access services related to our card products, naturally comply with the requirements of the harmonized European standard EN 301 549 V2.1.2 (08-2018) and comply with the relevant legal requirements for accessibility.
