Your data protection rights under European regulations

Smooth Lane is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws. This page outlines how we handle personal data for individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom.

Sydney NSW 2000, Australia

Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data under the following legal bases:

  • Contract: Processing necessary to provide our services or respond to your inquiries
  • Consent: Where you have given clear consent for us to process your data for specific purposes
  • Legitimate Interests: Processing necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided these do not override your rights
  • Legal Obligation: Processing necessary to comply with applicable laws

Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the EEA or UK, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right of Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information free of charge within one month of receiving your request.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal data or complete any incomplete data we hold about you.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes it was collected or when you withdraw consent.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects. We do not currently engage in automated decision-making.

International Data Transfers

As we are based in Australia, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in Australia. When transferring data outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Specific retention periods depend on the nature of the data and the purposes for processing.

Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit
  • Regular security assessments
  • Access controls and authentication
  • Staff training on data protection

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours and, where required, notify you directly.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of your rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month. If your request is complex or we receive multiple requests, we may extend this period by two months, in which case we will inform you.

We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. If we cannot verify your identity, we may ask for additional information.

Complaints

If you believe we have not handled your personal data appropriately, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. For the UK, this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). For EU member states, contact your local data protection authority.

Updates to This Information

We may update this GDPR information from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
