Shares of each authority’s first responses dated 1 December 2025 to 14 November 2026; small numbers swing widely. Working days leave out weekends and Isle of Man bank holidays. The law asks for a response within 20 working days, with a few exceptions (gov.im ↗); the log does not record extensions.

About the data

  • Where it comes from. The Isle of Man Government’s Freedom of Information disclosure log ↗, which lists the requests public authorities have answered and published: the authority, the request’s title, the outcome and its date. We read it once a day. It lists only the responses authorities publish, so it may not include every request.
  • Outcomes. Shown in the log’s own words. We group them so they can be filtered: “All information sent” as released in full; “Some information sent” (part exempt, or the rest not held) as released in part; “No information sent” and refusals as refused; “Information not held” as not held. “Upheld” and “Not upheld” are decisions on a review of an earlier answer, and are counted apart.
  • Times. From the day a request was received to the outcome date. Working days leave out weekends and Isle of Man bank holidays.
  • Names and addresses. We do not publish the names of people, home addresses, postcodes or vehicle registration marks in request titles: where a title had one, it is replaced with “[name removed]”, “[address removed]” or “[registration removed]” (16 cases). The log never shows who made a request.
  • Documents. Each title links to the case in the official log, where the response and any documents can be read. A title shows what was asked, not what was found.
