Dear ###

We write further to your request which was received on 16th February 2022 and which states:

"I require a list of all: Awards, grants and loans provided by the Isle of Man Arts Council from January 2020 to the most recent funding round in 2021/22 with details of recipient and amount."

Our response to your request is as follows: I have enclosed copies of the information. s25(b)(i)&(ii) While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information you have requested because it is absolutely exempt under section 25 of the Act (absolutely exempt personal information). The reasons why that exemption applies are that: • The Department of Education Sport and Culture is satisfied that the information amounts to personal data of which you are not the data subject; and • The Department of Education Sport and Culture is satisfied that disclosure of the information would contravene one of the data protection principles as set out at Article 5 of the General Data Protection Regulation as it applies in the Isle of Man pursuant to the Data Protection (Application of GDPR) Order 2018, namely that the Department of Education Sport and Culture can only disclose the information where it would be fair, lawful and meet one of the conditions for lawful processing in Article 6 and in this case, none of those conditions have been met. Please quote the reference number 2272221 in any future communications.
