TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor

The TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor application proactively monitors a
number of system functions such as power consumption, battery health (for
models with battery) and the system cooling, informing you of significant
system conditions. This application recognizes the system and individual
component serial numbers, and will track specific activities related to the
computer and their usage.
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 (for models with battery), LCD, fan,
HDD/SSD, sound volume, wireless communication functionalities and USB
information), date of initial system use, and also computer and device
usage (i.e.: power settings, battery temperature and recharging (for models
with battery), CPU, memory, backlight illumination time, and temperatures
for various devices). The collected information is not limited to the
examples specified here. 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 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 data on the internal storage drive
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.
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 internal
storage drive.
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.
