All policy information is delivered to you via email, but you can also access your insurance details through the app.
If you have questions about our different insurance options, how to get insured, or about your insurance, you can reach us via email, chat, or phone.
Accessibility requirements
As an e-commerce provider, we are required to comply with the German Accessibility Improvement Act (BFSG).
This means that our app and website – including features like login methods, electronic signatures, and payment services – must be accessible. Additionally, our customer service must be able to provide guidance on how our services are made accessible and can be used with assistive technologies.
How we ensure accessibility
We base the design and development of our app and website on the four core accessibility principles:
Perceivable
Operable
Understandable
Robust
These principles form the foundation of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). We aim to comply with WCAG 2.1, levels A and AA, which provide a practical framework for accessible digital content.
To assess accessibility, we use a combination of automated and manual testing tools, including Lighthouse, Wave, and BrowserStack. Accessibility is an integral part of our process when we develop and update our app and webpage.
Found an accessibility issue?
We’re committed to creating a barrier-free digital experience, but we know there’s always room for improvement. If you encounter an accessibility issue, we’d be grateful if you could describe it as clearly as possible and send it to us.
