Website accessibility requirements in the US and EU

The digital world is becoming more inclusive, and that's great news for everyone. But for online retailers, accessibility laws in both the EU and US create compliance challenges that can't be ignored. Whether you're selling to customers in Brussels or Boston, your website now needs to meet specific accessibility standards that ensure everyone —including people with disabilities—can browse, shop, and complete purchases of goods and services with ease. The question isn't whether you need to comply, but how to do it effectively across different regulatory frameworks. In this article, we'll break down the essential requirements for consumer-facing retail websites and provide practical guidance on demonstrating compliance with both EU and US accessibility standards.

The EU-US Data Privacy Framework Survives an Annulment Challenge

On 3 September 2025, the European Court of Justice (“CJEU”) dismissed the action of a Member of the French Parliament, Mr. Philippe Latombe, who had sought annulment of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (“DPF”).  Had he been successful, data transfers between the EU and US would have, yet again, faced challenges and uncertainty, as was the case following the 2020 Schrems II decision. This decision confirms that the European Commission is empowered to continue to review whether the DPF is sufficiently protective of EU data subjects’ rights, as the US legal landscape evolves. However, at this time, the safeguards offered in the US for EU personal data have been deemed sufficient to ensure the DPF has weathered this annulment challenge.

What is the European Accessibility Act and what impact will it have on your business?

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) came into force on 28 June 2025. It requires that all in-scope products and services placed on the market or provided after that date in the EU must meet specified accessibility requirements.  These are requirements to help people with disabilities make use of certain products and services and will require businesses who offer these products or services to ensure they are accessible to all users.

As we pass the mid-point of 2025, it’s a good time to review the important developments we have seen in the first 6 months of this year, particularly reforms to the UK’s data protection laws, the EU’s pathway to implementation of its AI Act, the CNIL’s recent regulatory focus (AI, transfer impact assessments and connected vehicles) and the approach in the Middle East to tech innovation, particularly AI.

Mobile apps: What does the CNIL recommend from a privacy perspective?

While mobile apps have become one of the major means of access to digital services, their ubiquity is accompanied by significant risks to users' privacy, due to the massive amount of personal data they collect and process. Last September the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL) published a set of recommendations to improve compliance of mobile apps with data protection rules. These clarify the obligations of the various stakeholders and set out best practices in the mobile app ecosystem. The recommendations are structured to distinguish between requirements which are mandatory and those which are best practice and are arranged by category of the entity involved in the mobile app value chain, with practical checklists for assessing and documenting compliance.  We unpack the key recommendations by the five main categories:   publishers; developers; software development kit (SDK) providers; operating system (OS) providers; and app stores.

Additionally, the importance of data protection and information rights are noted as essential building blocks for the ICO’s strategic plans, as they ensure public trust and consumer confidence alongside offering businesses security and certainty upon which to build for the future.
