What a listing is
- A factual description of your services, locations, practitioners and prices, presented in a standard format alongside your competitors.
- Not an endorsement, and not a claim by us that your services work. Where a service maps to a graded intervention, the listing shows that intervention’s evidence grade, which comes from the evidence and not from you.
- You may claim and correct your own listing for free. We never charge to fix an error or to respond to a review.
- You may not require a patient to waive a right, or to agree not to review you, as a condition of treatment booked through us.
Accuracy and claims
- Everything you publish through us must be accurate, current, and consistent with your licence in the jurisdiction where you deliver it.
- No claim that a service prevents, treats or cures a disease unless you hold the authorisation to say so where you operate.
- No before-and-after imagery, guaranteed outcomes, or patient testimonials presented as evidence of efficacy where local advertising rules prohibit them.
- No claim of LongLifeList endorsement, and no use of our evidence grades to imply we approve of you.
In this market the following rules bite specifically:
- Supplements are regulated as foods, not drugs: we do not state or imply that any supplement diagnoses, treats, cures or prevents a disease.
- Endorsements and affiliate relationships are disclosed clearly and close to the claim, as the FTC endorsement guides require.
- We do not use health interests for behavioural advertising, on this site or off it.
Verification
- The LLL Verified badge means we checked your licence with the regulator, confirmed the premises, confirmed a named medical lead, and reviewed the claims in your listing — as at the date shown on the badge.
- The audit fee pays for the audit, not for the badge. Audits fail and the fee is not refunded when they do.
- The auditors who decide cannot see your billing or spend, and we do not tell them.
- Verification lapses if you do not re-audit on schedule, or immediately if a licence is suspended. The badge disappears; the listing stays.
Leads and enquiries
- A lead is a patient enquiry, not a clinical record. We warn patients not to include medical details, and the notification we send you contains no message body — you open the portal to read it.
- Pay-per-lead charges are per lead delivered, itemised in a ledger you can see, and refundable when a lead is invalid.
- Respond within five working days or the lead is marked unanswered, which is visible to us and affects nothing about your ranking — but a pattern of it will get you a conversation.
- You may not use a lead’s contact details for anything other than responding to that enquiry. No newsletters, no lists, no resale.
The Health Data Hub, and where clinical responsibility sits
This is the part that matters most, so it is stated without hedging.
- You need a signed data processing or business associate agreement before the Hub can be enabled, and you must name the seats permitted to see patient data.
- Access requires multi-factor authentication, a patient-created consent grant, and is logged with your user identity, the patient, the scope and the time. The log is append-only and the patient can read it.
- You are the controller of the patient data you receive, and you carry the clinical responsibility for it. We transmit what the patient chose to share. We do not interpret it, triage it, flag it or monitor it, and no clinician at LongLifeList reviews it. If a result in that data needs acting on, acting on it is your duty, under your professional obligations, and nothing about receiving it through us reduces that.
- Alert rules you configure are a convenience, not a monitoring service. They can fail, be delayed, or be based on stale data, and they are not a substitute for reviewing the record.
- You must honour a revocation immediately. Access is cut at our end the moment a patient revokes; data you have already copied into your own record is yours to retain or delete under your own medical-records duties, and you must tell the patient which.
- Per-active-patient billing counts patients who shared data in the month. The billing tables hold counts only and contain no patient identifiers.
Reviews
- You may reply publicly to any review, once, and edit your reply.
- You may report a review for breaching the review guidelines. Trust and safety decides on the guidelines alone and cannot see your spend.
- You may not offer anything of value for a review, choose which patients we invite, or ask a patient to remove one as a condition of anything.
- Payment does not remove a review. There is no price, there is no escalation path that has a price, and asking will be recorded.
What we may do
- Correct factual errors in your listing, and tell you we did.
- Add a data-quality flag where we cannot verify something you have asserted.
- Suspend or remove a listing for a regulatory action, a safety concern, a pattern of misleading claims, or a refusal to honour a patient’s consent revocation. We tell you why and you can appeal to a person.
- Show your services’ evidence grades, including the ones you would rather we did not.
