1. An image processing device, comprising:
a memory for storing an encryption key in association with an application comprising machine executable instructions; and
a processor that performs operations for:
installing the application and determining that an encryption key has been correlated with the application;
in response to determining that the encryption key has not been correlated with the application, receiving, from a network equipment of a group of network equipment, an instruction as to whether to store the encryption key;
encrypting a debug log relating to, and generated based on, execution of the application with the encryption key correlated with the application; and
transmitting the debug log that has been encrypted using the encryption key to a transmission destination that has been set in advance, wherein the transmission destination is a network address associated with the network equipment of the group of network equipment,
wherein the application is representative of an application data record of application data records generated based on the image processing device, and wherein the application data record comprises program data associated with the image processing device, metadata associated with the application, the encryption key, a folder name of the debug record as stored to the image processing device, an acquisition timing for acquiring the debug log, and the transmission destination.
