TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor
The TOSHIBA PC 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 usage 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). The stored data uses a very small portion of the total hard disk
capacity, approximately 3MB or less per year.
■ 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.
■ 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.
