Healthcake supports 100% anonymous access so you can get the health information you need without exposing your identity.
You can choose your interests, research symptoms, conditions and treatments, and share with people who you trust.
On Healthcake, you have the choice to create a profile with an anonymous name on screen and privacy settings that restrict your data for your eyes only.
If you choose to be private on Healthcake, we may suggest content to other users based on the aggregate usage trends of the whole community without exposing your individual data.
This allows you and the community to still benefit as Healthcake gets smarter and only displays information that is relevant to you based on your health interests.
We also make sure that our employees are up to date on the latest skills for protecting our member's privacy.

If anything on Healthcake is every offensive or violates our policy on advertising, users can report it to have it removed. Content with a certain number of reports is removed within 24 hours.
