Last updated: May 12, 2026

General template — review with counsel before launch. This document is starter copy provided for the convenience of The Expats Hub (powered by Sync International Moving). It is not legal advice and should be reviewed and adapted by qualified legal counsel for your jurisdiction(s) before being relied upon.

1. Who we are

The Expats Hub (the "Site") is a relocation information and provider-matching platform operated by Sync International Moving(the "Company", "we", "us"). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect through the Site, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

For privacy matters, contact us at info@syncmoving.com.

2. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, including:

  • Contact details — name, email address, phone or WhatsApp number, current country and destination country.
  • Move details — origin and destination cities, expected moving date, shipment size or estimated volume, household goods, services of interest, and any free-form notes you submit on quote, calculator, corporate or contact forms.
  • Provider application data — company name, services offered, regions served, business identifiers, contact persons and membership tier when you apply to our provider directory.
  • Community content — your display name, profile data shared via Clerk authentication, and any posts, replies or votes you submit to the community forum.

We also collect technical information automatically:

  • Device, browser type, language, IP address and referring URL.
  • Pages visited, links clicked and approximate location derived from IP.
  • Cookies and similar technologies — see our Cookie Notice.

3. How we use information

  • To respond to enquiries and provide relocation information you request.
  • To prepare estimated moving quotes and connect you with relevant service providers.
  • To verify and manage provider applications and accounts.
  • To operate the community forum, including moderation and reports.
  • To improve the Site, troubleshoot issues and analyse usage.
  • To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.

4. How we share information

We share personal information only as needed:

  • With service providers you ask to be connected to. When you submit a quote, lead or provider request, the relevant provider receives the details required to contact you.
  • With Sync International Moving advisors who handle international moving enquiries submitted through the Site.
  • With technology vendors that help us run the Site (hosting, authentication via Clerk, email delivery via Resend, analytics via Google Analytics).
  • When required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, safety or property of users, the public or the Company.

We do not sell personal information.

5. International transfers

Because we connect users worldwide, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the one in which you reside, including Canada, the United States and other countries where our service providers or partners operate. We use reasonable measures to protect information during transfer.

6. Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, including providing services, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes and enforcing agreements. Lead and quote data is generally retained for the duration of the relocation enquiry plus a reasonable follow-up window.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal information, and to object to certain processing or request data portability.

To exercise any of these rights, email info@syncmoving.com from the email address associated with your enquiry. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

8. Security

We use technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information, including HTTPS in transit and access controls. No system can be guaranteed completely secure, and you submit information at your own risk.

9. Children

The Site is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

10. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be highlighted on the Site.
