Business and Transaction Partners
Where you have contacted us regarding a potential transaction, partnership, investment, financing, program, or other business relationship, relevant information may be shared with YieldQuest affiliates, advisers, prospective counterparties, or partners where reasonably necessary to evaluate or conduct that relationship.
We will seek to limit such disclosures to appropriate information and purposes.
Legal and Regulatory Requirements
We may disclose personal information where we reasonably believe disclosure is required to:
- Comply with applicable law;

Corporate Transactions
If all or part of YieldQuest or Kavumu Capital, LLC is involved in a merger, restructuring, financing, acquisition, sale, transfer, or similar transaction, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.
8. International Processing and Transfers
YieldQuest operates in an international environment and may work with service providers, professional advisers, partners, and other organizations located in different countries.
As a result, personal information may, where legally permitted, be accessed, processed, transferred, or stored outside the country in which it was originally collected.
Where applicable law requires specific safeguards, contractual protections, regulatory authorization, consent, or other measures before information is transferred internationally, YieldQuest will seek to apply the required measures.
This includes applicable requirements governing the transfer or storage outside Rwanda of personal information relating to individuals in Rwanda.
9. How Long We Keep Personal Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for legitimate legal, regulatory, accounting, compliance, security, or business requirements.
The appropriate retention period may depend on:
- the nature of the information;
- why it was collected;
- whether a business or contractual relationship develops;
- applicable limitation periods;
- legal and regulatory requirements;
- potential disputes or claims; and
- security and recordkeeping needs.
When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely archive it in accordance with applicable law and our retention practices.
10. Data Security
YieldQuest seeks to maintain reasonable technical, administrative, organizational, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the personal information we process.
These measures may include access controls, secure hosting, authentication procedures, security monitoring, restricted access, staff or contractor obligations, and other safeguards appropriate to the circumstances.
However, no internet transmission, electronic communication, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You should therefore exercise care when transmitting sensitive information electronically.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information.
These may include the right to:

12. Rights of Individuals in Rwanda
For personal information subject to Rwanda Law Nº 058/2021 of 13/10/2021 relating to the protection of personal data and privacy, individuals may have rights including access, rectification, restriction, erasure, objection, data portability, information regarding transfers, and protection concerning certain automated decision-making.
Where the Law applies, YieldQuest will process personal information in accordance with applicable requirements concerning fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data quality, security, retention, and data-subject rights.
Individuals may also have the right to raise concerns with Rwanda’s competent data-protection supervisory authority.
13. European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Other Jurisdictions
Individuals located in jurisdictions that provide additional privacy protections may be entitled to additional rights under applicable law.
Where the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), United Kingdom data-protection law, or similar legislation applies to our processing, we will seek to process applicable personal information in accordance with those requirements.
This may include providing additional information regarding processing purposes, legal bases, recipients, retention, international transfers, and applicable individual rights.
14. Automated Decision-Making
The general YieldQuest website is not intended to make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects on individuals solely through automated processing.
If YieldQuest introduces automated processing or profiling that materially affects an individual’s rights and is subject to specific disclosure or consent requirements, we will provide the information and safeguards required by applicable law.
15. Children’s Privacy
The YieldQuest website is designed for businesses, institutions, professionals, partners, and other adults and is not directed toward children.
We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through the general website.
Where we become aware that personal information relating to a child has been collected in circumstances requiring parental or guardian consent, we will take appropriate steps consistent with applicable law.
In Rwanda, where we know personal information belongs to a child under sixteen years of age and consent is required for the processing, applicable requirements concerning parental responsibility will apply.
16. Third-Party Websites
The Site may contain links to websites, social-media platforms, services, or content operated by third parties.
This Privacy Policy does not govern the privacy practices of those third parties.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party websites or services before providing personal information to them.
17. Business Contacts and Information From Other Sources
In addition to information submitted through the Site, YieldQuest may receive professional contact information through:
- introductions;
- business meetings;
- conferences or events;
- professional networks;
- counterparties;
- advisers;
- publicly available sources; or
- organizations with which we work.
Where required by applicable law, we will provide appropriate information concerning our processing of personal information obtained from other sources.
18. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in:
- our business or activities;
- website functionality;
- technology or service providers;
- legal or regulatory requirements; or
- our privacy practices.
When we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Policy and may provide additional notice where appropriate or required.
We encourage visitors to review this Policy periodically.
