River Logic incorporates robust security measures to ensure data protection across its cloud-based optimization platform:
All customer data is hosted on Microsoft Azure, leveraging enterprise-grade security features including network security, physical data center controls, and compliance with global standards.
Data in transit and at rest is encrypted, supporting confidentiality for sensitive operational, financial, and scenario data uploaded or generated within the platform.
User authentication is managed through secure identity protocols, including support for single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication, and role-based access controls to restrict data visibility and actions to authorized users only.
The platform undergoes regular security audits, vulnerability testing, and applies security patches in line with best practices for SaaS and cloud solutions.
Integration points (APIs) are protected using authentication and encryption, ensuring that all data exchanges with external systems, such as ERPs or analytics tool,s remain secure.
River Logic maintains rigorous backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity procedures to guard against data loss or downtime.
River Logic releases platform updates regularly—typically quarterly or as required—to introduce new features, enhance security, improve performance, and address user feedback and emerging business needs. Updates are managed centrally through its cloud-based service (hosted on Microsoft Azure), meaning enhancements and patches are rolled out automatically to all users without customer-side installation or disruption. River Logic communicates significant updates via release notes, customer newsletters, or in-app notifications, ensuring organizations are informed about changes and new capabilities. This approach aligns with enterprise SaaS standards, ensuring all customers benefit from the latest security protections, innovations, and support with minimized downtime.
River Logic’s policy on data ownership and portability is designed to give organizations control and flexibility over their business data:
Data Ownership: Organizations retain full ownership of all data they upload, model, or generate within the River Logic platform, including operational, financial, scenario, and analytic outputs. River Logic acts as a data processor, using customer data solely for service delivery and platform operations.
Data Portability: The platform provides extensive data export features, enabling customers to extract both raw data and scenario results in standard, machine-readable formats like CSV or Excel. This supports full data migration for analysis, backup, or transfer to other business intelligence tools or systems.
API and Integration: River Logic’s APIs and integration features empower organizations to connect the platform with external databases and cloud services for automated data ingestion and export, ensuring seamless portability and ongoing access to data across the customer’s application landscape.
Compliance: Policies adhere to global data privacy laws such as GDPR and industry best practices, guaranteeing user rights to access, rectify, erase, or transfer their data as needed during or after the contract period.
Data Retention and Deletion: Upon termination or contract end, customers can request deletion or export of their data, ensuring compliance with contractual, legal, and regulatory obligations regarding data retention, destruction, or handover.
River Logic offers enterprise-grade flexibility for scaling up or down to align with organizational needs:
Customers can easily upgrade their subscription tier, user licenses, or feature modules at any time, typically taking effect immediately with prorated billing for new or additional services.
Downgrades (reducing users, features, or moving to a lower plan) are generally allowed at the end of the current contract period, ensuring no disruption to current service but adjusting future billing and access in line with the revised terms.
Administrators can make scaling adjustments through River Logic’s support channels or via account management portals, and custom contract terms can accommodate highly variable or project-based scaling requirements.
No penalty or hidden fees are imposed for scaling activities, enabling organizations to respond cost-effectively to growth, contraction, or operational priority changes.
Data, models, and analytics remain available and protected during scaling transitions, so no loss of business-critical information occurs when changing service levels.
River Logic’s contract renewal and cancellation terms follow standard enterprise SaaS practices and are structured for transparency and flexibility:
Automatic Renewal: Contracts typically auto-renew at the end of each term unless the customer provides written notice of cancellation within a specified notice period, usually 30 to 90 days before renewal.
Cancellation Policy: Customers can cancel their subscription in accordance with the notice terms outlined in their agreement; cancellation is effective at the end of the current prepaid or contract period.
Adjustment and Flexibility: Service scope, user count, and features can often be adjusted at renewal to align with changing organizational needs, subject to updated pricing and contract terms.
Fee Changes: River Logic will provide advance notice of price changes before the renewal period. Customers can opt out of renewal if fee changes are not acceptable.
Refunds: Prepaid fees are generally not refundable except as required under local law or specific contract agreement.
Data Retention and Export: Upon cancellation, customers often have a defined period to export their data before permanent deletion in compliance with data protection policies.
Termination for Cause: Contracts may be terminated immediately for material breach, such as violation of terms of use, non-payment, or security incidents, with provisions for data access and remediation.
Surviving Clauses: Liability, confidentiality, data protection, and other critical provisions remain in force even after contract termination or expiration.
River Logic aligns with leading compliance standards and best practices to ensure data security, privacy, and regulatory adherence:
