Our commitment

Ninja Timer aims to help athletes, coaches, gyms, schools and event organisers participate in ninja and obstacle-sport training and competitions with confidence. We are committed to reducing barriers across our app, websites, event tools, results pages and related digital services.

​

Scope

This statement applies to the Ninja Timer app, website, public results pages, broadcast/display interfaces, training tools, AI-assisted features, reports and other digital content operated by Ninja Timer. Third-party services may have separate accessibility limitations.

​

Standards and approach

We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as a reference for web content, with a goal of improving toward WCAG 2.2 Level AA where appropriate. This is an ongoing target, not a claim of verified conformance. Native mobile apps also require testing against platform accessibility conventions and assistive technologies.

​

Design goals

• Clear structure, plain-language instructions and consistent navigation.

• Readable text, support for text scaling where feasible, and adequate contrast.

• Meaningful labels and accessible names for controls, forms and status messages.

• Keyboard navigation and visible focus on supported web interfaces.

• Compatibility testing with screen readers such as VoiceOver and TalkBack where feasible.

• Do not rely on colour, sound, animation or timing alone to communicate essential information.

• Provide visual alternatives to audio alerts where feasible and allow sound/vibration to be adjusted where supported.

• Reduce unnecessary flashing, motion and sensory overload.

• Make scores, results, status, warnings and AI-generated information understandable and distinguishable.

• Review QR-code workflows and public displays for alternatives when a user cannot scan or easily read them.

​

Live competition and training considerations

Live timers and competition screens can involve time pressure, loud environments and rapid visual changes. We aim to provide clear status indicators and alternatives where feasible. Coaches and organisers should not assume every feature is accessible to every participant; they should provide reasonable alternatives and follow applicable disability discrimination and accessibility obligations.

​

Testing, limitations and improvement

Accessibility is considered during development and maintenance. Testing may include manual review, assistive technology checks and user feedback. Some features, older content, third-party integrations or newly released tools may have limitations. We will prioritise reasonable improvements but cannot promise that every part of the Services will be fully accessible at all times.

​

Feedback and alternative formats

If you encounter an accessibility barrier or need information in another format, contact ninjatimerinfo@myyahoo.com or CONTACT PAGE. Please describe the page or feature, the device/browser or assistive technology if you are comfortable sharing it, and the barrier encountered. We aim to respond within a reasonable period and consider practical alternatives.

Review

We will review this statement as features and accessibility standards evolve. Last updated: 27 October 2026.
