(B) In determining whether information would permit a person to identify any person mentioned in the written opinion, the department shall consider: (i) Information available to the public at the time the written opinion is made open or subject to inspection; and (ii) Information that will later become available; provided the department is made aware of that information and the potential that the information may identify any person. (d) “Personal privacy information” means any information the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.

(3) Personal privacy information does not include any information that has been previously disclosed to the public. (e) “Trade secret” means any formula, pattern, device, or compilation of information that is used in a person’s business, and that gives the person an opportunity to obtain an advantage over competitors who do not know or use it.
