- Toshiba Service Station and Toshiba PC Health Monitor Utilities
[THIS SECTION ONLY APPLIES TO USERS DOWNLOADING TSS AND PCHM UTILITIES OR SOFTWARE FROM THIS WEBSITE. THIS SECTION IS ALSO APPLICABLE TO USERS WITH TOSHIBA PERSONAL COMPUTERS PRE-INSTALLED WITH THE MICROSOFT WINDOWS® 7 OPERATING SYSTEM.]
By automatically bringing you the latest Software updates and alerts, Toshiba Service Station (TSS) is the easiest way to keep your hardware product running smoothly. TSS allows your hardware product to automatically search for Software updates/alerts from TAIS that are specific to your hardware or programs. On initial Internet connection and periodically thereafter, your hardware product automatically sends Toshiba limited system information (e.g., the Model, Part Number, Serial Number, OS version, Software Status, etc.). Periodically, the hardware scans Toshiba servers for updates/alerts based on your system information. A notice window gives the option to apply or decline the update. Toshiba logs updates/alerts offered and installed on your hardware as part of Toshiba's quality assurance program. TSS can be uninstalled using the "Uninstall a program" utility in the Control Panel. Thereafter, the hardware will not communicate with Toshiba and notices of updates and automatic updates will cease. Please be advised, once TSS has been uninstalled or disabled you will no longer be notified of updates or alerts, and future performance may be affected.
Toshiba PC Health Monitor (PCHM) proactively monitors certain system functions and periodically logs system, component and usage information to the hard drive of the hardware. On initial Internet connection and periodically thereafter, it automatically sends Toshiba the logged information using TSS (unless disabled) to monitor the system operation, warn of critical system conditions or aid system diagnostics for service. No personally identifiable information is transmitted. Uninstalling TSS will stop transmission of logged information to Toshiba but your PCHM will continue logging and storing the information locally on the hard drive until PCHM is uninstalled or disabled.
TAIS may use the information for technical support services, quality assurance and business analysis, and may share it with Toshiba's World Wide Support organization or other third parties or affiliated Toshiba companies engaged by Toshiba for the purposes of rendering such services.
