6.1 Information Collected on the Site
YANG MING does not request or require any information from anonymous visitors to the Site. YANG MING collects information only from those users who wish to conduct business transactions (i.e. buying or selling products or services) on the Site and who have registered on the Site ("Registered Users"). When you become a Registered User of HomePort, you provide your name, address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail address and a unique User id. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any User id as well as any account number, account name, or passwords, if applicable, for the services you utilize through the Site.
6.2 Use of Cookies and Log Files
The Site does not use persistent or stored cookies; however, it does use temporary or per-session cookies. Temporary or per-session cookies act as a randomly generated session ID; they last only while the Registered User is logged onto the Web site, and are cancelled at the end of the session (i.e., the Registered User logs out of the Site or closes their Web browser program). The Site uses temporary cookies for security purposes. Each time a Registered User logs onto the Site, the Site server generates a temporary session ID, which associates with the user's login name, password and computer during that particular session. This allows the Registered User to move from page to page in the Site during a specific session, without having to re-enter the user login name and/or password. The temporary cookie allows the Site server to continuously verify that the user is a permitted user as the user moves from page to page during a specific session. When the Registered User logs out of the Site the temporary session ID is cancelled, and is removed from the temporary memory of the user's computer; and the association in the Site server between the temporary session ID and the specific user login name and password is also terminated.
YANG MING also uses log files for anonymous site usage analysis. A "log file" is a data file that records a Registered User's activity while using the Site.
