Lane 4 Enterprises Pty Ltd (ABN 27 652 766 839), trading as iSwim ("we", "us", "Lane 4"), operates iSwim: management software for swim schools and clubs, a family portal for bookings, enrolments and camp registrations, and related staff applications (together, the "Platform").
This policy explains how personal information is handled on the Platform. We are committed to complying with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles ("APPs"), and, where it applies, State health records legislation including the Health Records Act 2001 (Vic).
The Platform is used by swimming organisations ("Organisations") to manage their members. Understanding who is responsible for your information depends on which of two roles is in play:
If you have questions about why particular information was requested (for example, why a camp form asks a particular question), your Organisation is the right first contact. Questions about the Platform's handling of information belong to us (Section 13).
Student information is provided by a parent or guardian (or by an Organisation's staff on their behalf):
Some Platform features collect health information, which the Privacy Act treats as sensitive information requiring consent and a higher standard of care:
We collect health information only with the consent of the parent or guardian who provides it (or, for incident reports, as your Organisation's duty of care requires), only for the purposes described in Section 4, and we protect it with the safeguards in Section 7.
We do not collect information from children directly: the family portal is operated by parents and guardians, and student records are created and maintained by adults.
Most students on the Platform are children. Their information is:
We are following the development of the Children's Online Privacy Code and will update the Platform and this policy to comply with it when it takes effect.
Information on the Platform is used to:
We do not sell personal information. We do not use it for third-party advertising, and we do not transmit personal information to advertising or social media platforms in any form, hashed or otherwise. We do not use health information for any purpose other than the care, safety and administration functions above.
A medical record on the Platform belongs to the relationship between your family and one specific Organisation. If your student is a member of more than one Organisation on the Platform:
Emails sent by the Platform never contain medical details. Staff notifications about submitted forms name the student and the event only, and direct staff to view details inside the Platform, where access is controlled and recorded.
No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security; the measures above reflect the sensitivity of what families entrust to the Platform.
We comply with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme under the Privacy Act. If we become aware of a breach likely to result in serious harm, we will:
Where a suspected breach requires investigation, we complete our assessment promptly and within 30 days at the latest.
You may ask your Organisation, or us, to delete information earlier; we will comply unless the law or a genuine record-keeping obligation requires retention, and we will tell you which applies.
Under APPs 12 and 13 you may request access to, and correction of, personal information held about you or your children. In most cases the fastest path is the Platform itself: profile, medical, and emergency contact information is directly editable by the guardian who maintains it. For anything else, contact your Organisation or us (Section 13). We respond to access requests within 30 days. There is no charge for making a request.
We may only refuse access or correction on the limited grounds the Privacy Act allows (for example, where access would unreasonably interfere with another person's privacy). If we refuse, we will tell you why in writing and how to complain about the refusal.
The Platform sends transactional email (bookings, registrations, confirmations, account matters) on behalf of your Organisation. Organisations may also send you news and marketing through the Platform; every such email includes an unsubscribe mechanism, and we honour unsubscribes in accordance with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth).
We record whether a Platform email was sent and delivered. We do not track whether emails are opened or whether links in them are clicked.
The Platform uses cookies necessary for sign-in and session security. The staff applications use Vercel Web Analytics, which counts page visits without cookies and without identifying you; the family portal uses no analytics. The Platform does not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking.
Privacy questions, requests and complaints:
We will acknowledge a complaint within 14 days and respond substantively within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner:
We will update this policy as the Platform and the law evolve. Material changes, especially any change to how health or children's information is handled, will be notified to Organisations and account holders before they take effect, and never applied retrospectively to consent already given.
