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.
