Accessibility of the Positive credit register’s e-service for organisations

This accessibility statement describes how the Positive credit register’s e-service for organisations (hereafter: e-service or service) complies with the act on the provision of digital services, what shortcomings there are in the site’s accessibility, and how you can give us feedback about accessibility issues.

The Tax Administration’s Incomes Register Unit is responsible for the service. We want as many users as possible to be able to use our digital services. We therefore pay special attention to accessibility as we develop our services.

How accessible are the pages?

The e-service largely meets the A and AA accessibility criteria required by law (WCAG criteria 2.1). There are some accessibility defects in the service. They are described in more detail below at Detailed information about the fulfilment of accessibility.

Did you notice any accessibility defects?

We continuously seek to improve the accessibility of our e-service. If you find any defects that are not described on this page, please let us know. We will take every effort to correct the defects.

You can contact us by online form (available in Finnish and Swedish). We will send you a reply within 14 days.

The Regional State Administrative Agency of Southern Finland supervises the fulfilment of the accessibility requirements. If you are not satisfied with our reply or if you do not receive a reply within 14 days, you can submit a complaint to the Regional State Administrative Agency of Southern Finland.
