Accessibility
Soihtu maintains its own website’s accessibility statement and develops its online service to be more accessible. You can leave feedback about the accessibility of our site using the accessibility feedback form.
Accessibility statement
This accessibility statement applies to the service https://soihtu.fi and was updated on October 2nd, 2023.
The service is subject to the law on the provision of digital services as far as the apartment rentals are concerned, which requires that public online services must be accessible. Soihtu Asuminen’s apartment rental business and ARA-financed student apartments are owned by the Student Union of the University of Jyväskylä JYY.
We have assessed the accessibility of the soihtu.fi web service ourselves.
Services of other service providers
From the Soihtu.fi website, hyperlinks are used to direct you to the apartment search website, the apartment search form and the reservation application. Visma Tampuuri is responsible for the production of these applications. The electronic services offered by Tampuuri largely meet the AA level accessibility criteria required by law (WCAG 2.1), and according to the manufacturer, the site has no critical accessibility deficiencies. According to Visma Tampuuri, accessibility is taken into account in the development of all new features. Visma Tampuuri is responsible for its own accessibility, and accessibility feedback regarding these contents is recommended to be addressed directly to Visma Tampuuri.
