TOSHIBA Service Station
TOSHIBA Service Station
The TOSHIBA Service Station helps you keep your new computer
running at its best by notifying you when updated software,
firmware, documentation or other information is available for your
computer. The TOSHIBA Service Station will alert you when
updates are available, and you can then choose to install the updates
if you wish.
TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor
The TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor software program monitors
computer system functions such as power consumption, the cooling
system and the 3D Accelerometer (available on certain models). It
alerts users to specific system conditions via pop-up messages. It
also tracks the usage of the computer and related devices and logs
service-relevant information on the computer's internal storage
drive.
The collected information includes device operation time and
number of actuations or status changes (e.g.: number of power
button and
Fn
key combination uses, AC adaptor, LCD, HDD,
sound volume, and USB information), date of initial system use,
and also computer and device usage (e.g.: power settings, CPU,
memory, 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 3 MB or less per year).
This information is used to identify and provide a notification of
system conditions that may affect 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 use this
information for quality assurance analysis.
Subject to the use restrictions above, the data logged on the internal
storage drive 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.
