TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor
The TOSHIBA Health Monitor software program monitors computer system
functions such as power consumption, the cooling system and HDD Drop
sensor. It alerts users of specific system conditions via pop-up messages.
It also tracks the usages of the computer and related devices, logging the
service relevant information on the computer’s hard disk drive.
The collected information includes device operation time and number of
actuations or status changes (i.e.: number of power button and FN key
combination uses, AC adaptor, battery, LCD, fan, HDD, sound volume,
wireless communication switch, TOSHIBA Express Port Replicator and USB
information), date of initial system use, and also computer and device usage
(i.e.: power settings, battery temperature and recharging, CPU, memory,
backlight illumination time, and temperatures for various devices, property
(e.g.: product name, model number, part number, serial number, BIOS
version, FW version) of the system and components (e.g.: Video device,
Sound device, Network device, Hard Disk drive, Solid State drive, Optical
Disc drive), operating system and software information (e.g.: OS version,
OS install date, Direct X version, Internet Explorer version, installed update
program and driver lists). The stored data uses a very small portion of the
total hard disk capacity, approximately 10MB or less per year.
This information is used to identify and provide a notification of system
conditions which may effect the performance of your computer. It may also
be used to help diagnose problems should the computer require service by
TOSHIBA or TOSHIBA’s authorized service providers. Additionally,
TOSHIBA may also use this information for quality assurance analysis.
Subject to the use restrictions above, the HDD data logged may be
transferred to entities located outside of your country or region of residence
(e.g., European Union). Those countries may or may not have the same
data protection laws or data protection levels as required by your home
country or region.
Once enabled, you may disable the TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor at any
time by uninstalling the software via Uninstall a program in the Control
Panel. Doing so will automatically delete all collected information from the
HDD.
The TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor software does not extend or modify
TOSHIBA’s obligations under its standard limited warranty in any way.
TOSHIBA’s standard limited warranty terms and limitations apply.
