TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor

The TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor software program monitors computer system
functions such as power consumption, the cooling system and HDD/SSD Alert.
It alerts users of specic system conditions via pop-up messages. It also tracks
the usage of the computer and related devices, logging the service relevant
information on the computer’s hard disk drive.
n
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.
n
This information is used to identify and provide a notification of system
conditions which may effect the performance of your Toshiba 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.
n
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.
