If your government is not corrupt from head to toe then they probably have “access to information” or in my area “Freedom of Information act request.” I don’t know how to do it and I’ve been wanting to requests some info from the government too. It might be easier for someone to teach you but Citizen Lab has one for companies to access what info they gathered from you. Maybe you can start there. If you’re Canadian then search Freedom of Information act or “Freedom of Information Request.” As far as I’m reading request needs to be specific so they won’t reject your request due to technicality like “the man hours to gather with request is too much for our dept” or something like that.
