A system for enabling data syncing between a host device and an electronic device includes a first port configured to be coupled to a first electronic device, a second port configured to be coupled to the host device, and a data sync switch coupled to the first port and the second port. The data sync switch is switchable between a first state, in which data communication between the electronic device and the host device is enabled, and a second state, in which data communication between the electronic device and the host device is disabled. The system also includes an authorization device configured to couple to an authorizing physical object and generate an output signal. The data sync switch is in one of the first state and the second state based on the output signal from the authorization device.
