1. Information Collected via Technology.

1. Information Collected by Our Servers. To make our Nikola

Management Site more useful to you, our servers (which

may be hosted by a third party service provider) collect

information from you, including your browser type, operating

system, Internet Protocol (“IP“) address (a number that is

automatically assigned to your computer when you use the

Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain

name, and/or a date/time stamp for your visit.

2. Log Files. As is true of most websites, we gather certain

information automatically and store it in log files. This

information includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet

service provider (“ISP“), referring/exit pages, operating

system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this

information to analyze trends, administer the Nikola

Management Site, track users’ movements around the

Nikola Management Site, and to gather demographic

information about our user base as a whole. For example,

some of the information may be collected so that when you

visit the Nikola Management Site, it will recognize you and

the information could then be used to provide information

appropriate to your interests. Except as noted in this Privacy

Policy, we do not link this automatically-collected data to

Personal Data.

3. Cookies. Like many online services, we use cookies to

collect information. “Cookies” are text files containing small

amounts of information which are downloaded to your

computer or mobile device when you visit a website or

mobile application. Cookies are then sent back to the

originating site on each subsequent visit, or to another site

that recognizes those cookies. You can find out more

information about cookies

 

at http://www.allaboutcookies.org/(opens in a new tab).

Cookies are widely used in order to make sites work, or to

work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the

owners of the platform. We use cookies to enhance the

online experience of our visitors and to better understand

how our site is used. Cookies may tell us, for example,

whether you have visited our site before or whether you are

a new visitor. This type of information is collected to make

the Nikola Management Site more useful to you. “Cookies”

are small pieces of information that a website sends to your

computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website.

We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you

close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay

on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with

a more personal and interactive experience on the Nikola

Management Site. The Nikola Management Site uses the

following types of cookies:

The information gathered does not identify any individual

visitor and is aggregated. It includes the number of visitors to

our site, the sites that referred them to our site and the pages

that they visited on our site.

4. Do Not Track Browser Setting. We do not currently respond

to “do not track” signals from web browsers.

5. Pixel Tags. We may use “Pixel Tags” (also referred to as

clear Gifs, Web beacons, or Web bugs). Pixel Tags are tiny

graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to

Cookies, that are used to track online movements of Web

users. In contrast to Cookies, which are stored on a user’s

computer hard drive, Pixel Tags are embedded invisibly in

Web pages. Pixel Tags allow us to send e-mail messages in

a format users can read, and they tell us whether e-mails

have been opened to ensure that we are sending only

messages that are of interest to our users. We may use this

information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to a user.

We do not tie the information gathered by Pixel Tags to our

users’ Personal Data.

6. Collection of Data by Advertisers. We do not use third

parties to serve ads on the Site or collect personally

identifiable information about your online activities over time

and across different websites.

how users use the Nikola Management Site. Google

Analytics uses Cookies to collect information such as how

often users visit the Nikola Management Site, what pages

they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to

the Nikola Management Site. We use the information we get

from Google Analytics only to improve the Nikola

Management Site. Google Analytics collects only the IP

address assigned to you on the date you visit the Nikola

Management Site, rather than your name or other

personally identifying information. We do not combine the

information generated through the use of Google Analytics

with your Personal Data. Although Google Analytics plants

a persistent Cookie on your web browser to identify you as

a unique user the next time you visit the Nikola

Management Site, the Cookie cannot be used by anyone

but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information

 

collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Nikola

Management Site is restricted by the Google Analytics

Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can avoid

the use of Google Analytics relating to your use of our site
