6 Jun 2024 a Japanese medical corporationClinic operator: order over discounts in exchange for five-star Google Maps reviews JapanFake reviewsanonymised Order

The medical corporation promised people attending an internal medicine clinic it operates for a flu vaccination a reduction in the vaccination fee if they rated the clinic with five or four stars on Google Maps. Consumers could not recognise the resulting reviews as advertising prompted by the provider; the order required it to stop displaying them, inform consumers and take preventive measures that also cover the medical staff.

What organisations can take from it

Reviews obtained in exchange for discounts or other benefits are the provider's own advertising and must not appear as independent customer opinions.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source (company names until they are anonymised).

Company names are anonymised two years after the decision in a case, in line with the practice of many supervisory authorities. The official sources remain linked.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
