The following public records are excluded from the application of this chapter; and these rules and regulations shall be subject to inspection only upon order of a court of competent jurisdiction:
(A) Public records containing information of a personal nature where the public disclosure thereof would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. Examples include acquisition, relocation, and rehabilitation files on families disclosing income or other personal data.
(B) Records confidentially disclosed to any agency and compiled and maintained for scientific research, the regulation of commercial enterprise, including mineral exploration records, unpatented secret commercially-valuable plans, appliances, formulae, or processes which are used for the making, preparing, compounding, treating, or processing of articles or materials which are trade commodities obtained from a person and which are generally recognized as confidential, or for the grant or review of a license to do business, and if openly disclosed would permit an unfair advantage to competitors of the subject's enterprise. This exemption shall not, however, apply to records the disclosure or publication of which is directed by other statute.
