Everyone has the right to request digital accessibility of the website, mobile application, or any of their elements. Requests can also be made for information to be provided through alternative means, such as reading a digitally unavailable document or describing the content of a video without an audio description. The request should include the requester's details, specify the website or mobile application in question, and provide contact information. If the requester indicates a need for information through alternative means, they should also specify a convenient method for presenting this information. The public entity should fulfil the request promptly, no later than seven days from the date of the request. If meeting this deadline is not possible, the public entity must inform the requester immediately about when the request will be fulfilled, with a deadline not exceeding two months from the date of the request. If digital accessibility cannot be provided, the public entity may propose an alternative way of accessing the information. If the public entity refuses to fulfil the request for digital accessibility or an alternative means of access to information, the requester may complain about the lack of digital accessibility of the website, mobile application, or website/mobile application element. After exhausting the above procedure, a request can also be made to the Polish Ombudsman: rpo.gov.pl.
